STEEL PLATE BONDING

• Disadvantages
– Bulky set-up
– Labour and Time intensive
– Difficult to align and install
– Design needs to cater for weight of steel
plates
– Requires heavy equipment
– Steel plates need to be tailor made
– Drilling and bolting cause further distress
11
JACKETING
• Disadvantages
– Bulky set-up with massive formwork
– Fairly destructive
– Improper bond between new and existing
concrete
– Different shrinkage rate of old and new
concrete
– Offset from original alignment

Saturant Part A and
Part B using a
mechanical mixer for
between 1-2 minutes
61
Saturation of Fibre
• Saturate MBraceTM Fibre
