The implementation of repair works on concrete structures is on the increase since many existing concrete buildings have been exposed for long periods of time to different climates, as well as to other severe conditions, and have consequently deteriorated.
However, the implementation of this repair scheme gives rise to the difficulty in monitoring of the growth of the defect or crack beneath.
In-situ monitoring methodology can be developed to monitor the fatigue crack development after the implementation of this repair on the structure.
It was proposed that an in situ monitoring methodology be developed to monitor the fatigue crack development after the implementation of this repair on the structure.
However, the performance of these FRP strengthening systems in fire is a serious concern, and this represents a critical obstacle to the widespread implementation of FRP repair techniques in buildings.
However, for the industrial engineering and maintenance production line, there is a lack of appropriate technical manuals - standards and specifications to control the implementation of the repair as integrated method - from the design phase, up to application and quality assurance.
Our practice in forensic engineering often includes investigating the causes of reported problems, documenting the extent and types of problems found, developing repair solutions, implementing a pilot (mockup) repair program, and monitoring the general implementation of the final repairs.
The three assessment studies lasted over six months, were carried out by different operators, encountered major instrument repairs, required implementation of a protocol change in sample loading volume, and used different reagent lots (Additional file 6: Table S3).
Local and international regulations demand the implementation of appropriate strengthening, modification and repair plans when significant changes in the structural integrity are revealed.
The implementation of CLSC braces can significantly reduce repair costs of the whole structure, with minimal manipulation of the structural performance parameters.
