In order to achieve these goals, a radially aligned carbon fiber fabric can be incorporated into the construction of the fiberglass jacket. This feature provides the additional structural confinement element required to complement the addition of axial reinforcement. Because the fiberglass jacket requires joints to encircle the pile, the radial carbon fiber fabric will not be continuous; therefore, there must be a connection bridging the radial carbon fiber strengthening elements at the jacket joint, which is capable of providing the equivalent strength. With this in mind, we have invented the Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Continuity Connection which can provide the required continuous radial reinforcement necessary to confine any additional axial reinforcement. Additionally, axial reinforcement can be quickly and accurately installed using our patented “Reinforcement Positioner” (Please see more about the Reinforcement Positioners here). Together, these two innovations improve the existing fiberglass jacket pile encapsulation system by providing structural strengthening for a wide variety of applications.
