[0002] The Yangshupu Industrial Zone, located on the Yangpu Riverfront in Shanghai, is an important industrial base in modem China. It is known as the "Corridor of Modern Chinese Industrial Civilization" and was once called "the world's only remaining industrial rust belt" by UNESCO. The industrial heritage historical buildings here hold an important place in the history of China's modern industrial development. However, due to years of disrepair, weathering, rain erosion, etc., many parts of the fair-faced brick wall of the external facade are damaged, especially the overhanging brick eaves structure of the fair-faced brick wall, which is severely damaged, resulting in the destruction of the original appearance of the historical buildings and requiring urgent restoration.
[0003] During the repair work on deteriorated brick eaves, in order to increase the horizontal tensile strength of the bricks, it is necessary to plant rebars through the bricks. However, conventional reinforcement methods tend to be external reinforcement.
