<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Finito</strong><br />
∆αναΐδες<br />
Danaid<br />
Auguste Rodin, 1901
<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Finito</strong><br />
“<strong>Non</strong> <strong>Finito</strong>” is a sculpting technique<br />
literally meaning that the work is<br />
unfinished.<br />
<strong>Non</strong> finito sculptures appear unfinished<br />
because the artist only sculpts part of the<br />
block, leaving the figure appearing to be<br />
stuck within the block of material.
<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Finito</strong> = simply<br />
uncompleted work<br />

Conclusions<br />
• The idea to use CFRP for rehabilitation<br />
was called „crazy” in the 1980ties<br />
• Today it is state-of-the-art
Conclusions<br />
• The idea to use e.g. airbags to preserve<br />
civil structures will be called “crazy” these<br />
days.<br />
• This or similar “crazy” concepts might be<br />
state of the art in 5, 10 or 20 years<br />
• It is only a question of patience and time.<br />

Recommendations for today<br />
In practice we should focus on challenges in<br />
the present time like:<br />
• Pre-tensioned CFRP strips<br />
• Easy to handle CFRP tendons<br />
Here is great potential and everything<br />
proofed to be reliable and ready!
