Steel Plate Strengthening
Steel plate strengthening is a technique used to reinforce existing structures that have weakened over time or have been damaged due to external factors such as natural disasters or accidents. This process involves adding steel plates to the structure to increase its load-carrying capacity and improve its overall structural integrity. The steel plates are carefully selected based on the specifications of the structure and are usually bolted or welded onto the existing structure to provide additional support. The plates are designed to distribute the load evenly across the structure, which helps to prevent further damage and prolongs the life of the building. Steel plate strengthening is a cost-effective solution that can be used for a wide range of structures, including buildings, bridges, and other types of infrastructure. It is particularly effective for structures that are subject to heavy loads or vibrations, as well as those that have suffered from corrosion or other forms of deterioration.
