RE: FRP Retrofit

Quake Wrap as previously mentioned is a good product with good support.  Another consideration would be Helitech http://hj3.com/.  They also have good technical support.

Can somebody point me to a good source of info for using FRP "strips" to reinforce existing concrete? 

 

Specifically I'm interested in strengthening an existing flat plate slab to add a new penthouse on top.  The addition will also require a large number of 12" to 14" square penetrations for new mechanical units.  I need some ballpark figures for a cost estimate ASAP.

 

I would appreciate any insight. 

 

Thanks,
