IPC Classification: B29C 70/00
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.
Startup Options: a)Apparatus for cast-in-place strengthening of structural elements i.e. masonry walls, using textile reinforced concrete. B)The apparatus is simple and inexpensive to perform cast-in-place repair, rehabilitation or retrofit of concrete and masonry structural elements using textile reinforced concrete. c)It achieve uniform, smooth and aesthetically appealing surface in final retrofitted system d) It achieve less variability of mechanical properties from point to point and structure to structure with minimal manual effort.
