STRENGTHENING REINFORCED CONCRETE FLEXURAL ELEMENTS USING COMPOSITE POLYMER MATERIALS CONSIDERING SERVICE CONDITIONS

Abstract

This scientific article analyzes the issues of strengthening reinforced concrete flexural elements using modern composite polymer materials while considering service conditions. The long-term performance of building structures, the reduction of load-bearing capacity, and defects caused by aggressive environmental impacts are investigated. The mechanical and physical properties of composite materials, particularly composite polymer materials, as well as the efficiency of their interaction with reinforced concrete structures, are substantiated. In addition, strengthening methods, technologies, and the results of their practical application are scientifically discussed.
