BS EN 1504 Principle 4 is concerned with structural strengthening by increasing or restoring the structural load bearing capacity of an element of the concrete structure. It is essential when using this Principle that all stresses associated with a repair and the original or deteriorated structure are considered. Certain systems may impose additional stresses on the repaired structure, resulting in changes in the function of the original structure.
