Patent ID: 8429877

Claim:
A method for reinforcing concreted plates in the region of support elements, comprising providing reinforcement elements that are each composed of a longitudinally stable, bendable, strap-like base body, opposite end regions of which being designed as a loop, the loops having, in a slack state, a width a, making a bore in the concreted plate for each reinforcement element, the bore being inclined from a pressure-side surface toward a corresponding support element, and having a diameter d which is smaller than the width a of the slack loop, an end region of the bore remote from the pressure-side surface being drilled out to a second diameter greater than the diameter d of the bore, inserting each reinforcement element into a corresponding bore in the concreted plates to be reinforced, including pressing together one of the loops of the reinforcement element at a first end of the reinforcement element and leading the pressed together loop through the bore until the pressed together loop has reached the drilled-out hole at the end region of the bore and permitting the pressed together loop to expand to a size greater than the diameter d of the bore, filling at least the drilled-out end region of the bore with a mortar-type mass, and fixing a loop at a second end of the reinforcement element to an anchor head which supports itself on the pressure-side surface of the concreted plate.
