Concrete columns and piers in parking structures and bridges carry concentrated axial loads, and when the concrete cover cracks or spalls from corrosion of the internal reinforcement, the column's effective cross-section and confinement of that reinforcement is reduced.
This is a different failure mode than a cracked wall or slab, since a compromised column directly threatens the load path above it.
EcoSpect repairs and confines damaged columns, piers, and retaining system supports using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps, which restore confinement pressure on the concrete core and add axial and shear capacity without increasing the column's footprint significantly.
