Smart carbon fibre-adhesive composite repairs and innovative constructional composites for enhancing damaged infrastructures in Ukraine

Unfortunately, many infrastructures, e.g., buildings and bridges, in Ukraine are destroyed or damaged by the ongoing war. Massive reconstruction of the country is expected coming soon. However, rebuilding all damaged infrastructures is a huge financial issue and time consumed process. The prosed project will develop a smart repairing technology using carbon fibre-adhesive composite repairs and innovative constructional composites for enhancing partly or locally damaged infrastructures in cost-effective and efficient way. It is estimated that this smart repairing technology would be much low cost (between 1% and 50% of reconstruction costs depending on the damaged size in infrastructures) comparing to totally rebuilding damaged infrastructures. This project will bring huge financial savings and shorten the reconstruction time thus accelerate economic development in Ukraine. The project corresponds to the topic of scientific research and scientific and technical (experimental) development of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for 2022-2026 in the direction of: Creation and application of
technologies for obtaining, welding, joining, diagnostics and processing of structural, functional and composite materials; Scientific research on the problems of construction and architecture in the context of the post-war reconstruction country.
