Abstract:
A method of reinforcing an external surface of a structural member including the steps of applying to a surface a fiber reinforced polymer system, and curing or hardening the polymer system. The polymer system is characterized by including a single-phase homogenous system before curing or hardening and becoming a two-phase system upon curing. The polymer system results in, when cured, a structural polymer including a continuous phase and an elastomeric polymer discontinuous phase.
