In a method and apparatus for reinforcing concrete and other structural members, a plurality of cylindrical jackets are preformed. Each jacket terminates in lateral edges defining a discontinuity in the jacket, the jackets being made of high elongation high tensile strength filaments having a maximum elongation without failing of more than 8% and preferably at least about 20%. The jackets are fixed to the structural member by an adhesive, with the discontinuity of each jacket lying along a line spaced from the lines along which the discontinuities of adjacent jackets lie.
