Abstract (en)
A reinforcement device for connection to a structure (4), comprising: a reinforcement member (18) having a hook portion (22) for engagement around a coupling element (10,28) secured to the structure (4); and a connector (26) having spaced-apart openings (46,48) receiving opposite limbs of the hook portion (22), thereby to prevent displacement of the limbs away from each other and to provide a tight connection. The coupling element (10,28) may comprise a pair of spaced-apart loops (10) of reinforcement element embedded at their ends in the structure (4). When the hook portion (22) is aligned with the loops (10) a removable bar (28) is inserted through the loops (10) and the hook portion (22) to secure the hook portion (22) to the structure (4). The connector (26) is then fixed to the reinforcement member (18) to hold the two limbs of the hook portion (22) together. In this way, the reinforcement member (18) is securely connected to the structure (4). A plurality of reinforcement members (18) may be connected to a structure (4) using a single removable bar (28) which runs through respective pairs of loops (10) and corresponding hook portions (22). <MATH>
