How to Select UHPC Strengthening Components in Old Building Renovation?

When selecting UHPC reinforcement components for the renovation of old buildings, a comprehensive assessment of the existing structure, load requirements, and economics is required to ensure effective reinforcement with minimal intervention. Based on experience from multiple renovation projects, Qinglong Group believes that selection should follow three principles—adaptability, lightweight design, and durability—and, through scientific calculation and case validation, provides the optimal solution.

Structural assessment is the foundation of selection. Testing the strength and crack conditions of existing components determines the reinforcement method. In a historic building renovation in Shanghai, Qinglong Group adopted UHPC panel cladding reinforcement with a thickness of 20mm, improving strength by 40%. Lightweight design reduces the burden on the foundation. Durability ensures long-term effectiveness, and selection must take environmental conditions into account. Scientific selection makes renovation both safe and economical.
