| Abstract: | The present invention relates to an apparatus for cast-in-place strengthening of structural members using textile reinforced concrete and method thereof and also an apparatus for tautening of textiles while performing cast-in-place applications using textile reinforced concrete. This method and the associated apparatus can be used to tauten the textiles while performing cast-in-place applications using textile reinforced concrete for strengthening of various structural components of various shapes, forms and configurations. The method and the apparatus can also be utilized for in-situ repair and rehabilitation of structures. This method and apparatus can be used for textile reinforced concrete with plurality of binders of different composition and textiles of different stiffness. | ||
