ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the problem of assessing the structural integrity of a composite reinforcement used to repair a nonpressure sewerage piping system with assembly damage. An analysis of the strain criteria applied to assess the structural integrity of polyester-glass composites was carried out. The technical aspects of the repair of the damage are discussed and a numerical model of the pipe section under repair is presented. The calculations made indicate the composite repair structural and material solutions’ potential for further improvements and measures which are less effective in this regard.
