Filed:

Jan 13, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/006408

Inventors:

Robert Luke Secrest - Reynoldsburg OH, US

International Classification:

E04B 1/92
E04H 9/00

US Classification:

52222, 527413

Abstract:

The basement wall reinforcement system comprises carbon fiber materials securely mounted to the wall being reinforced as well as to structural components at both the top and bottom of the wall. These additional connections at the top and bottom of the wall increase the capacity of the carbon fiber to prevent bowing and cracking by transferring lateral forces from the wall to these structural components. Such structural components can include foundations, basement floors, sill plates, rim joists and floor joists. The carbon fiber can be connected to these structural components by pins, epoxies and specially designed brackets.
