Abstract: A pier-repairing and reinforcing panel is used in a method of repairing and reinforcing a pier. The panel includes locking members, locking ribs, reinforcing ribs, and clips. The method includes the steps of: installing a watertight caisson around a pier and removing water from the gap between the caisson and pier. Impurities are removed from the pier's surface, and a plurality of panels are installed around the pier while sealing the junctions of the panels. A plurality of reinforcing steel bars are arrayed in the gap between the pier and panels, and the panels are then affixed to the steel bars or the pier using anchor bolts. The gap between the pier and the panels are then filled with concrete. The pier is effectively repaired and reinforced while separating the reinforced concrete from water, thus protecting the concrete and steel bars for a desired lengthy period of time.

Abstract: A method of repairing and reinforcing a pier using stones. The method includes installing a watertight caisson around a pier and removing water from the gap between the caisson and pier prior to repairing the pier. The method can also include removing impurities from the pier's surface; arraying a plurality of reinforcing steel bars around the pier; laying stones outside the arrayed steel bars while fixing the stones to the steel bars or the pier, and filling the gap between the pier and the stones with concrete.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a pier-repairing and reinforcing panel and a method of repairing and reinforcing a pier using such panels. The panel includes locking members, locking ribs, reinforcing ribs, and clips. The method comprises the steps of: installing watertight caisson around a pier, removing water from the gap between the caisson and pier, removing impurities from the pier's surface, and installing a plurality of panels around the pier while sealing the junctions of the panels; arraying a plurality of reinforcing steel bars in the gap between the pier and panels; fixing the panels to the steel bars or the pier using anchor bolts, and filling the gap between the pier and the panels with concrete. The present invention effectively repairs and reinforces the piers while covering the reinforced concrete from water, thus protecting the concrete and steel bars for a desired lengthy period of time.
