A system for reinforcing a concrete structural member comprising:a) a panel oriented longitudinally; b) at least one frame assembly module comprising: first and second spaced, rod members oriented generally transversely to said panel, said first rod member having a first end portion which is mounted to said panel, said second rod member having an end positioned proximate an inner surface of said panel, but not being mounted to said panel; a third rod member oriented generally longitudinally; said first, second and third rod members being joined together to form said frame assembly module; c) a longitudinal reinforcement member extending generally longitudinally, crossing said first and second rod members, being generally spaced from said third rod member and said panel, and joined to at least one of said first and second rod members; said first, second and third rod members and said longitudinal reinforcement member co-operating to define a retention cell having a generally vertically oriented opening for receiving a vertical reinforcement member, so as to retain said vertical reinforcement member.66. A system for as claimed in claim 65 wherein said first, second and third rod members and said longitudinal reinforcement member of said retention cell, are configured to retain said vertical reinforcement member in a substantially vertical orientation.67. A system for reinforcing a concrete structural member comprising:a) a panel oriented longitudinally; b) at least one frame assembly module comprising: first and second spaced, rod members oriented generally transversely to said panel, only one of said first and second rod members extending to said panel and being mounted thereto; a third rod member oriented generally longitudinally; said first, second and third rod members being joined together at a plurality of joints and said plurality of joints lying in substantially in a common transversely and longitudinally oriented plane, to form said frame assembly module; c) a longitudinal reinforcement member extending generally longitudinally, crossing said first and second rod members, being generally spaced from said third rod member and said panel, and joined to at least one of said first and second rod members and also oriented in substantially in said plane; said frame assembly module and said longitudinal reinforcement member co-operating to define a retention cell having a generally vertically oriented opening for receiving a vertical reinforcement member, said first, second and third rod members and said longitudinal reinforcement member of said retention cell, configured to restrict said vertical reinforcement member from a significant amount of movement in said transverse and longitudinal directions.
