A Prestressed Kevlar Stiffening System for Rehabilitation of Large Structures

现有的钢结构、桥梁和建筑物正在被 修复以延长其使用寿命。 本项目将研究一种独特的方法， 由凯夫拉组成的预应力加固系统， 玻璃/聚酯树脂材料。 这种强化技术的结果是延长了使用寿命， 更高的刚度，更大的抗疲劳性， 耐蚀性能

Existing steel structures, bridges and buildings, are being rehabilitated to extend their useful life. This project will investigate a unique method of using a prestressed stiffening system consisting of kevlar and glass/polyester resin materials. The result of this strengthening technique is added service life, increased stiffness, greater fatigue resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance.
