Strengthening & Repair of Existing Concrete Structures
Join us for an insightful session on the latest techniques, materials, and design considerations for strengthening and repairing existing concrete structures.
Seminar Overview:
Complexity in Concrete Strengthening: Dive into the evolution of strengthening practices, blending engineering, material science, and constructability perspectives. Understand how the process has grown into a complex blend of art and science.
Identifying the Need: Explore the various factors, from construction errors to new code requirements, that necessitate strengthening. Learn about the challenges and strategies associated with upgrading concrete structures.
Case Studies Highlight:
Factors Affecting capacity of Reinforced Concrete: Delve into considerations like adaptive reuse, overloading, and issues with reinforcement. Understand repair techniques for elements with dimensional challenges and the implications of low-strength concrete.
FRP Systems Exploration: Discover the use of advanced composite materials, such as FRP form sheet & rod. Learn about typical FRP forms, installation techniques, design concepts as per ACI 440 2R-08, and their limitations.
Conventional Strengthening Techniques: Uncover traditional methods, including external and internal post-tensioning, section enlargement, bonded overlays, and supplemental steel supports, suitable for scenarios where FRP is not viable.

Speaker Bio
A graduate of the Concrete Industry Management program at Middle Tennessee State University, Jerrub Hammrich has been in the construction industry for over 15 years. He has spent the last 10 years focused on the repair and strengthening of existing concrete structures. He began his career in operations and served as a Project Manager for 6 years. Throughout that time, he successfully managed over 300 extensions of life projects, with focus on concrete repair and urethane traffic membranes, to the largest impressed current cathodic protection system installed in the United States. Jerrub now leads the strengthening division of Structural Technologies, LLC, overseeing all strengthening opportunities, including Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP), post-tension repair and modification, and concrete enlargements.
