A method of increasing the structural strength of a load bearing member such as a pile (12), particularly for the purpose of reparing a damaged pile, includes the steps of securing a rigid, structural sleeve (17) around the pile (12) and spaced therefrom to form an interspace (18), filling the interspace (18) with an expansive filler (19), and allowing the filler (19) to set and expand in the interspace (18) to impose tensile hoop stresses in the sleeve (17) and corresponding compressive hoop stresses in the pile (12) to enhance the load transfer between the pile (12) and the sleeve (17).
Selon un procédé permettant d'augmenter la résistance structurelle d'un élément porteur tel qu'un pilier (12), notamment dans le but de réparer un pilier endommagé, on fixe un manchon structurel rigide (17) autour du pilier (12), à une certaine distance de celui-ci, de façon à former un espace libre (18); on remplit ledit espace (18) avec un matériau de remplissage expansif (19); et on laisse ledit matériau (19) durcir et se dilater à l'intérieur de l'espace (18), de façon à imposer au manchon (17) des contraintes circonférentielles par traction et au pilier (12) des contraintes circonférentielles par compression correspondantes, ce qui améliore le transfert de charge entre le pilier (12) et le manchon (17).
