Structural strengthening involves upgrading existing structures to bear higher loads, improve performance, or meet modern safety codes. Structures may require strengthening due to aging, seismic risk, heavier traffic, design deficiencies, or changes in use. Instead of rebuilding, strengthening with advanced materials extends service life, reduces costs, and minimizes disruption. ZRETE’s solutions integrate intelligent, durable systems that fit today’s shift toward proactive infrastructure management.

CFRP Systems (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)

FRP composites provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant reinforcement with extremely high tensile strength. They are applied as fabrics, wraps, strips, or meshes, bonded with epoxy to concrete or masonry. Benefits include:

• High tensile strength for beams and slabs.

• Confinement of columns for seismic ductility.

• Lightweight, non-corrosive reinforcement for harsh environments.

• Minimal added load and quick installation.

Adhesives:

Steel Plate Bonding

Steel plate bonding uses epoxy adhesives to attach steel plates or jackets to beams, slabs, or columns, boosting flexural and shear strength. ZRETE’s adhesives ensure high bond strength, thixotropy for overhead work, and durability against chemicals and fatigue.

Anchoring & Doweling

Anchoring adhesives fix post-installed rebar or bolts into existing concrete, ensuring new loads are transferred safely. ZRETE’s anchoring systems provide high pull-out strength, chemical resistance, and reliability even in damp or aggressive environments.

Seismic Retrofitting

In seismic zones, retrofitting is essential. ZRETE’s high-ductility masonry concrete enhances structural toughness, energy absorption, and crack control. Applied as overlays or jackets, it provides ductility and resilience for masonry and concrete walls.
