Abstract: In this research, the cracked concrete members are repaired and strengthened by inlaying method to ensure that the concrete members have not less than the initial mechanical properties before cracking. The inlay is made into a dumbbell shape or a shape of 8 characters by metal or composite material. The middle slender part of the inlay penetrates through the crack, and the two ends of the inlay are embedded with the original concrete member to achieve the functions of repair and reinforcement. The test results show that the flexural properties of cracked cement products are significantly improved by using this inlaid reinforcement technology in this research. Moreover, this technology has the advantages of convenient construction, high reliability and low cost.
