EFFECTIVENESS OF STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITH THE USE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Wide spread of RC structures in construction projects indicates the necessity of their service life prolongation. Perspective possibility to increase strength of RC structures is use of external composite tapes. The article presents theoretical research on the effectiveness of strengthening of RC bended elements with the use of composite tapes. Work also includes comparative analysis on the basis of calculations, according to normative regulations.
