In the modern world, where rapid technological development and constant climate change impose new requirements on the reliability and durability of infrastructure, the issue of strengthening building structures is becoming especially relevant.
Preserving and giving additional strength to existing buildings and structures not only extends their service life, but also ensures the safety of people using these facilities. Such measures as strengthening can be caused by various reasons: from changing the purpose of the building to the need to bring it into compliance with stricter seismic safety standards. The importance of these works is also due to the historical and cultural value of many buildings that require a careful and professional approach to strengthening their structures.
Restoration and strengthening of building structures is a set of measures aimed at returning buildings and structures to their original performance characteristics, as well as increasing their resistance to external and internal influences. These works require deep knowledge in the field of construction, innovative technologies and materials. The strengthening process may include strengthening the foundation, strengthening load-bearing walls and columns, as well as the use of modern composite materials to increase the resistance of the structure to loads. Effective strengthening ensures the long-term performance of buildings, minimising risks and increasing their value for both owners and society as a whole.
