I do not think internal reinforcement is possible in a damaged, corroded or cracked beam. Only external reinforcement can be done after repair of the damaged beam.

Aicha Benmokrane

Yes, I guess it's not as concrete, but is adding elements to the damaged beam the only way we have to solve the problem ?

External retrofitting may done to save a structure from collapse.

Jacques Berthellemy

Hi,

I propose you to have a look to this recent article concerning a bridge.

Several available methods were tested.

wWith kind regards.

If you mean to upgrade the beam by strengthening it, there some ways such as using FRP materials as external applying or near surface methos(NSM).

Regine Ortlepp

In addition to near surface mounted FRP some other methods are also possible, e.g.

- additional steel-reinforced shotcrete-layer with bond anchors or

- textile reinforced concrete

Hello Aicha

we did such a work in some projects.

if the steel is corroded, you can strengthen it by welding steel sheet "dimension and thickness of steel sheet should be calculated carefully".

Harold Sprague

I have reinforced many steel structural elements over the years. Most of that reinforcing was done by welding structural shapes (usually plates) to the parent (damaged) element. Structural steel shapes can be reinforced under load or unloaded. There are some considerations that need to be added for loaded structures. I have also bolted on plates to reinforce steel beams. A cracked structural steel shape may be a different issue. You can research Ray Tide to find a lot of articles on reinforcing structural steel. I would suggest you obtain the AISC Design Guide 15 AISC Rehabilitation and Retrofit Guide as a starting point. Chapters 3 and 4 would be good for you. You will also find great references in Chapter 5.

Thanks Harold ,
