Due to the increase in requirements for transport facilities, there is a need to strengthen them. The article is devoted to the analysis of reinforcement methods for load-bearing reinforced concrete structures of transport structures. The author notes in what period of the bridge’s life, it needs reinforcement, what difficulties are associated with reinforcing structures, and what are the main amplification methods that exist today. In order to select the optimal amplification method, it is necessary to carry out verification calculations, study the zone requiring amplification, take into account how many times the load-bearing capacity will increase and whether additional force effects will occur. This article describes the advantages and disadvantages of reinforcing by welding additional reinforcement and bonding composite material. The author calculated the amplification of the extended zone of the T-section reinforced concrete beam of the superstructure with additional reinforcement and composite materials. Based on the calculations made, recommendations have been put forward on the relevance of using one or another method of reinforcing the structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
