An integrated approach to the use of composite materials for the restoration of reinforced concrete structures

The article presents the results of a technical inspection of the state of the structures of the object. To conduct the study, horizontal structures of the sludge pool that were exposed to the carbonization reaction were taken for the objects under investigation. Defects and damages of the considered structures revealed during visual inspection are described. The degree of carbonization of reinforced concrete structures was determined by the phenolphthalein sample method. According to the results of the technical inspection, a verification calculation of the beam was carried out in order to determine its bearing capacity for assessing the suitability for further operation after restoration and strengthening. The calculation was performed using software. Based on the calculation results, data on the bearing capacity of the beam reinforced with composite materials were determined. The option of restoring and strengthening the beam using external reinforcement based on carbon fibers FibArm 230/150 is presented. The restoration was carried out taking into account the carbonized concrete layer. Based on the results of the study, an assessment is given of the application of an integrated approach to the restoration and strengthening of structures with composite materials, taking into account the carbonized concrete layer.
