Abstract: A method of reinforcing an embedded cylinder pipe by applying a composite structural reinforcement within the pipe through in situ stratification of at least one band of reinforcement fibers and a resin or a resin including matrix comprising the steps of applying said band onto a contact area on an internal face of said pipe by means of a contacting member; moving said contacting member along an helical path so that said contact area follows said path; moving a main pressing member behind said contacting member along said path, to apply pressure to said band in a main pressure area separated from said contact area. Related device for reinforcing an embedded cylinder pipe by applying a composite structural reinforcement within the pipe.

Abstract: Reinforcement of a metal container against seismic or paraseismic stresses, in which the metal container is surrounded over at least part of its height with carbon fibre fabric bonded to the external surface of the metal container, and in which the carbon fibre fabric is placed in bands extending substantially over the entire circumference of the metal container, predominantly in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of the metal container.
