Abstract
The tensile strength, and particularly the ability to resist changes in cross-sectional configuration, of a rigidifiable-in-situ passageway lining material comprising a fibrous body with a settable resin forming a part thereof, the fibers in that fibrous body having their lengths generally extending transversely to the plane thereof, is enhanced by incorporating thereinto a reinforcing layer formed of fibers with their lengths generally extending in the plane of the lining, and preferably circumferentially when the lining defines a tube. A pair of such reinforcing layers may be provided, each near a different surface of the lining, thereby to simultaneously protect against buckling and ovality.
