Reinforced concrete columns

Thanks to the use of high performance, fibre-reinforced HPFRC concretes, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the material used to jacket the existing column, thereby quantity of reinforcement required while significantly increasing the performance specifications of the strengthened element.

Beams – Strengthening against shear and flexural forces

On occasions it may be necessary to strengthen existing beams in reinforced concrete against flexural and shear forces, if increasing the section of the columns and node panels with FRCM and FRP structural strengthening is not sufficient.

In such cases it is necessary to increase the initial section using Ruregold micro-concrete, capable of replacing and/or upgrading the original flexural and shear reinforcement where the section was insufficient.

Beam-column node panel

Reinforcing beam-column node panels represents an interesting application for increasing the capacity of the dissipation zones of reinforced concrete frames.

This type of application is particularly useful when applied to the non-confined portion of the node panel, by applying a jet of Micro Gold Steel micro-concrete.

Strengthening the extrados (upper side) of existing slabs

The use of Ruregold high performance micro-concretes, with their high residual tensile strength on the extrados (upper side) of collaborating top concrete slabs is important in the case of floor decks with long, continuous spans resting on multiple supports.

In such cases, the presence of a material that renders it possible to work at reduced thicknesses (as little as 2 cm) and the capacity to confer residual tensile strength to the extrados (upper side) tension zone contributes significantly towards ensuring the load-bearing structure satisfies the required performance specifications.

Another potential use on the extrados (upper side) of existing collaborating top concrete slabs is characterised by its capacity to absorb high loads concentrated in low thicknesses.
