Masonry-Concrete Columns

To reinforce masonry or concrete columns against in-plane failures, prestressed jacketing can be installed. Prestressed jacketing is like wrapping a metal blanket around a column. This jacket strengthens concrete and masonry beams by holding them together and keeping them from easily cracking. It also helps prevent the columns from buckling and bending.
