The article discusses the use of carbon anchor harnesses to strengthen building structures. Their design features, installation technologies, and key advantages, including low weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and durability, are described. An overview of existing experiments demonstrating the reliability of anchor harnesses under load, their effectiveness in preventing the stratification of external reinforcement elements and increasing the strength of joints is given. The shortcomings of the regulatory framework and the lack of practical recommendations on the selection and design of anchor harnesses are indicated. The authors emphasize the need for further research to optimize the interaction of the elements of the reinforced structure-external reinforcement-anchor system.
