Anchoring devices and systems are disclosed for use with elongated reinforcement members such as FRP, SRP, metallic bars, or cables. Such devices and systems impart a compressive stress into a static structure having the elongated reinforcement member running there through or there along. An anchoring system can include an anchor block that includes a front end surface for contacting the static structure, an axial bore for receiving the elongated reinforcement member, and clamping members that work with fasteners to provide a clamping force. The bore may be tapered and the fasteners optionally provide different clamping levels to reduce the stress on the elongated reinforcement member near the front end surface. The disclosed systems also include pre-stressing devices that can be used with the disclosed anchor systems, and that can place a tensile force on the elongated reinforcement members to also impart a compressive force on the static structure.

Exemplary sheet and rod attachment apparatus and systems are described for providing composite reinforcement for one or more structures, such that one or more structures can be supported by different reinforcement mechanisms. The sheet and rod attachment apparatus includes an adaptor that couples the sheet to the rod in a manner that minimizes or substantially eliminates localized stress concentrations. The adaptor may include one or more wedge-shaped bodies contoured and configured to attach to at least a portion of a rod of a predetermined size and/or shape. A wedge-shaped body may include an interior surface for engaging the rod, and exterior surfaces extending radially from the interior surface. Example exterior surfaces are configured to engage a reinforcement sheet that extends axially from the rod.

Anchoring devices and systems are disclosed for use with elongated reinforcement members such as FRP, SRP, metallic bars, or cables. Such devices and systems impart a compressive stress into a static structure having the elongated reinforcement member running therethrough or therealong. An anchoring system can include an anchor block that includes a front end surface for contacting the static structure, an axial bore for receiving the elongated reinforcement member, and clamping members that, when closed, exert a radial clamping force on a reinforcement member in the axial bore. A tensioning and anchoring system may include one or more tensioners integrally connected to an anchor block. At least one sleeve may be secured to the anchor block and cooperate with a bolt that displaces the anchor block to place a tensile force on the elongated reinforcement member and impart a compressive force on the static structure.
