Abstract:
Reinforcing element for load-bearing or load-transmitting structural components (12), comprising a flat strip lamella secured to a structural component outer surface by means of an adhesive layer (16), which flat strip lamella is comprised of a plurality of parallel to each other and parallel to the lamella longitudinal direction oriented reinforcing fibers (26) embedded in a binder matrix (28), whereinthe respective free ends of the flat strip lamella (10) are in engagement with respectively one anchor plate (18) which is anchorable to a construction component (12) or a tension beam by means of securing means (36), which anchor plate protects the lamella against tensile and sheer forces acting upon the lamella in the longitudinal direction, the anchor plates (18) are elastically bendable and ductile at least in the entry area (42, 44) of the flat strip lamella (10), and the stiffness in the end section (44) of the anchor plate (18) steadily decreases going towards the entry side (42) of the flat strip lamella.
