COST EFFECTIVE REPAIR OF PIPING TO INCREASE LOAD CARRYING CAPABILITY

摘要

A method of repairing a pipe is provided that enhances internal pressurecarrying capabilities at low cost. The method involves obtaining access to theinterior ofthe pipe to be repaired. The pipe has a pipe wall. A layer of high compressivestrengthmaterial is adhered to a first surface secured to the pipe wall. A layer offiber reinforcedmaterial is then adhered to the high compressive strength material. Animproved pipereinforcement structure is also disclosed.
