An apparatus and method for reinforcement of partially submerged structural elements such as piles, posts, pillars, and pipes are disclosed. The apparatus includes an upper unit which may be fixed to the structural element above the waterline and a lower unit which is suspended from the upper unit via cables or other support members. The apparatus enables a reinforcing sleeve structure to be constructed in multiple segmented layers from above the waterline which the sleeve structure is lowered beneath the waterline. The lower unit guides the lower end of the sleeve structure down around the submerged portion of the structural element and supports the weight of the sleeve structure until it is fixed in place and filled with concrete or another reinforcing core filler material.

A precast segmental pier reinforced with both FRP bars and steel bars according to one or more embodiments of the present application includes a footing, a segmental pier, longitudinal bars and unbonded post-tensioned tendons, characterized in that: the segmental pier is comprised of one or more precast segments , the longitudinal bars are comprised of both the steel bar and the high-strength steel bar, connecting the footing and the segmental pier together with unbonded post-tensioned tendons to form an entire pier.

Disclosed is a construction method for a cantilever beam on a central pier. A scaled model of the cantilever beam on the central pier is established and tested to obtain the stress distribution regularities of the cantilever beam according to test data and analysis results of the scaled model, so as to find out week parts of the cantilever beam, and thus the optimization design can be performed to make the cantilever beam reasonably carry the load and improve the materials with a higher utilization ratio. The wheeled stand support used in the present application has a high turnover rate and it is easy and convenient to dismantle and assemble the wheeled stand support. A height of the cantilever beam mold can be adjusted by a hydraulic cylinder.
