Thank you

Ali Ehsan Seif

You can cover the front of the wall with the aluminum sheet to avoid the surface damage and strength the back face of the wall with the FRP.

Actually I tried with prestressing ropes on the exterior side (both sides of wall), but it results to surface damage more than without prestressing.

So, now m planning to go with CFRP.

Well, will try to do this one also with aluminium sheet.

Thanks Ali Ehsan Seif. Can u pls help me, so as to know what are the applicable properties for Aluminium sheets and its thickness?
