Concrete beam strengthening is a process used to enhance the load-carrying capacity or restore the structural integrity of existing concrete beams. This method involves adding supplementary materials or reinforcing elements to the beam to increase its strength and durability. We are mainly involved in adding additional reinforcing bars, increasing depth, increasing width etc. Strengthening concrete beams can help accommodate heavier loads, rectify structural deficiencies, or prolong the service life of the beams in various construction and infrastructure settings.
Beam strengthening against bending failures, shear failures are different approach. Steel plate fixing underneath, fixing steel I beams etc are concrete beam strengthening with steel members.
