Structure Reinforcement

¡uStructure Reinforcement¡v is necessary when the load of a building or
bridge has exceeded that for which it was originally designed. Reinforcement
is required when there are changes in the function of a building, poor or
incorrect design, flood or earthquake damage, revision of government
regulations resulting in new specifications for construction materials, or
changes in job practices.
The concept of structure reinforcement developed in Japan in the 1970¡¦s,
and was introduced into Taiwan at the end of the decade. Short operating
times, high strength, and economy of space are among the advantages which
make the concept attractive. Higher cost, however, has slowed its
implementation.
The current ratio of new to reinforced construction in developing countries
is 6:4; in developed countries 4:6. As Taiwan is now considered a developed
country lacking land resources but with strict building regulations, structure
reinforcement is more and more in demand. China, on the other hand, is still
ranked a developing country, but, due to the current construction boom and
weak infrastructure, recent structures often need reinforcement.
During the design and calculation of structure reinforcement, the usual
choice of reinforcing materials is epoxy resin, special cement, carbon fiber
sheets, and carbon steel plates.
SB Construction is a medium sized company subject to the natural rise
and fall in construction demand. In the past, SB used only special cement as
reinforcement material as it had no production line for epoxy resin or carbon
fiber steel. This report concerns itself mainly with how, from a business angle,
environment analysis and internal management ability can establish a
competitive advantage adapted to its own business model and how to evaluate
the effectiveness of this strategy.
Section One: background and motivation for research, purpose and
structure.
Section Two: research design, discussion of theory, method and
procedures.
Section Three: industry analysis, development of structure
reinforcement, analysis and comparison of Taiwan and China, and analysis of
superior products.
Section Four: case study, introduction to the company, changes in
strategy, expectations and goals.
Last: conclusion and suggestions for adapting to changes in the
environment, discussion of strategies for future consideration and further
development.
