Abstract
An exemplary reinforcing element () may be configured to be received within a longitudinally extending cavity (C) defined by a structure (). The reinforcing element may include a base portion () having a bonding material () applied thereon, and a member () selectively secured to the base portion and configured to selectively extend away from the base portion when the reinforcing element is received within the cavity. Accordingly, the reinforcing element may define a first length (L) when the member is in a first position with respect to the base portion, and a second length (L+L) when the member is in a second position extending away from the base portion, the second length being greater than the first length. The selectively extending arrangement of the reinforcing element may generally allow improved ease and accuracy of installing the reinforcing element within a generally closed structure.
