Tensioning system of bars in composite materials and related machinery to achieve that measure tension and compression reinforcement of items and artifacts.

Italy Patent NA2007A000078

Issued June 22, 2007

Inventors: Ph.d. Eng. Domenico Brigante

The invention consists in the tensioning system of bars in the fibrous composite material, a process which enables the creation of a compressive stress state within the element on which work that is contained between the two plates of the load distribution. The method can be divided into two phases (Phase I) prior to the impregnation of fibers or bars the use of Pre-polymerizing, and link them to the sleeves roll through a system of resin injection, (Phase II) implementation of the stress state of compression in the element in which it operates through tension bars in composite materials.

Fiber reinforced cementitious material and fiber reinforced for structural and nonstructural.

Italy Patent Application NA2008A000050

Filed 2008

Inventors: Ph.d. Eng. Domenico Brigante

The invention in question consists of a cement matrix material with mechanical properties and high temperature resistance, reinforced with fibers having high mechanical properties, whether dissolved, whether by incorporation in the composite matrix is not a suitable cement, characterized by geometry and surface finish to ensure the best grip in the cement matrix. The material is obtained by pre-mixing, dry or three phases of the cement component, the two fibrous phases described above, the additional components required for the transfer of desired properties and the subsequent addition of a liquid phase of suitable composition. The material thus obtained has the following characteristics:
- high resistance to high temperatures
- high mechanical strength
- no cracking
- High resistance to oxidation and corrosive agents in general
- Quick and easy installation
- does not require highly skilled labor (preparing and laying like a traditional cement to avoid errors in installation)
- Absence of toxic components
- do not need special precautions or supplementary processes being implemented
The patented system is characterized also by the simplicity and speed of installation, the flexibility that makes it usable on any basic geometry.

System of structural reinforcement in piles in elevation, with the use of fiber-reinforced composite materials.

Italy Patent Application NA2009A000074

Inventors: Ph.d. Eng. Domenico Brigante

The invention in question consists of a structural reinforcement system capable of achieving the structural reinforcement of piles in elevation, the consolidation system is implemented through the use of fiber-reinforced composite materials, placed on the existing pole, in order to increase the mechanical properties . The system thus has better reinforced structural and mechanical properties may have a reduced bending deflection of the ends.
The patented system is characterized also by the speed of installation, the flexibility that makes it usable on any basic geometry and the reduced impact on the geometrical structure than the original.
