Abstract

The invention relates to a reinforcement element (8) for load-carrying or load-transferring structural parts (12). Said reinforcement element has a flat strip segment (100, consisting of a plurality of supporting fibers (26) which are embedded in a binder matrix (28) and are aligned parallel to one another and in the longitudinal direction of the segment. According to the invention, the flat strip segment (10) engages in an anchoring strap (18) with each of its free ends and is secured on said anchoring straps against the tensile and shearing forces exerted in the longitudinal direction of the segment. This enables the flat strip segment (10) can be fixed to a structural part (12) with an impressed pre-stress. The anchoring straps (18) can be anchored on the structural part (12) by means of fixing members (36).
