REVOLLO OPORTO, Andrew Louis  e  DELGADILLO ZURITA, Marcelo. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN FOR THE REINFORCEMENT OF COLUMNS OF CONCRETE WITH FRP MATERIAL AN METALLIC PROFILES. JBC [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.40, pp. 54-60. ISSN 2075-8936.

This article is an excerpt of a scientific research, carried out from August 2016 to May 2017. A comparative analysis was carried out at a technical and economic level of two methods for the reinforcement of columns of Concrete that suffers from the changeof use of the structure as a pathological problem, which weakens and reduces the resilient capacity of the structural elements. To increase this load capacity a reinforcement must be applied so that it can with stand the new function of the structure. The proposed methods for the reinforcement of reinforced concrete columns in the project are the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers) and Metallic Edge, which are practical materials, they allow an immediate application and do not alter the architectural conditions of the space.
