Are you concerned about the hassle, mess, and intrusive methods required fix cracked or bowed basement walls? Now you can have your basement walls reinforced with a simple, practical, and attractive material. THE REINFORCER® is a 4-inch wide carbon fiber repair plate bonded with structural epoxy (ECS104) made to stabilize, support and reinforce basement foundation walls! When THE REINFORCER® is applied to basement foundation walls, it counteracts further outside pressure on the wall, taking the tension force (or tensile load) that the wall cannot.
To start off we would like to introduce the names and faces of Nationwide Reinforcing. Steve Morton and Robert (Bob) Thompson started developing The Reinforcer in 1998 with the focus on reinforcing existing foundation walls. Bob Thompson is a Professional Engineer with a degree in civil engineering from The Ohio State University. His primary discipline has been in geotechnical and foundation engineering since 1986. Bob worked six years as a geotechnical engineer for a consulting firm prior to entering the foundation repair and waterproofing industry.
This design guide uses and recommends the most current ACI 318 document, NCMA (National Concrete Masonry Association), and the current ACI state of the art practice for the design of external bonded reinforcement. For your convenience, our manual is available in its entirety or in separate chapters for you to download. Our manual requires the Adobe® Reader®.
