Some existing reinforced concrete structures do not have sufficient seismic capacity, therefore, variousretrofitting techniques are proposed. However, such techniques are not always adequate from the viewpoint of theincrease in weight and the maintenance of the function. In order to overcome these problems, The method developed anew method using carbon fibre, which is a material of high strength, light weight and good durability, and recentlydeveloped as a 'high-tech' material. In this paper, basic design, application techniques and durability of carbon fibre areintroduced. This reinforcing system is more economical than conventional ones, and it has been used to improve theearthquake resistance of concrete structure. This system is also applicable to reinforcing buildings and freeway piers.
