SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for structural reinforcement against shear forces. The reinforcement systems comprise a fluid-applied coating applied to a surface of a substrate of a structure and a mesh applied to the fluid applied coating, adhered to the substrate by the fluid applied coating, and exhibiting an area density of at least about 200 g/m2. The mesh can be disposed between the first and a second fluid-applied coating and can be oriented in various configurations to increase the resistance of the substrate to shear forces.

主权项

1. A system for structural reinforcement comprising:
a reinforcement layer disposed on a surface of a substrate of a structure, wherein the surface comprises a base, a top aligned distal to the base, a height extending between the base and the top and an area disposed between the base and the top, and wherein the reinforcement layer extends along a majority of the height of the surface, and wherein the reinforcement layer comprises a first fluid-applied coating disposed on the surface, a mesh disposed on the first fluid-applied coating, wherein the mesh is adhered to the substrate by the first fluid-applied coating, and wherein the mesh exhibits an area density of at least about 200 g/m2, and a second fluid-applied coating disposed on the mesh and at least a portion of the first fluid-applied coating.
