Exemplary sheet and rod attachment apparatus and systems are described for providing composite reinforcement for one or more structures, such that one or more structures can be supported by different reinforcement mechanisms. The sheet and rod attachment apparatus includes an adaptor that couples the sheet to the rod in a manner that minimizes or substantially eliminates localized stress concentrations. The adaptor may include one or more wedge-shaped bodies contoured and configured to attach to at least a portion of a rod of a predetermined size and/or shape. A wedge-shaped body may include an interior surface for engaging the rod, and exterior surfaces extending radially from the interior surface. Example exterior surfaces are configured to engage a reinforcement sheet that extends axially from the rod.

1. A sheet and rod attachment system, comprising: a rod having an exterior surface, a proximal end, and a distal end;at least one sheet adaptor on said rod, wherein said at least one sheet adaptor includes: proximal and distal ends, the distal end of the at least one sheet adaptor being disposed at
1. A sheet and rod attachment system, comprising: a rod having an exterior surface, a proximal end, and a distal end;at least one sheet adaptor on said rod, wherein said at least one sheet adaptor includes: proximal and distal ends, the distal end of the at least one sheet adaptor being disposed at the distal end of the rod;a length extending axially along the rod and defined between the proximal and distal ends of the at least one sheet adaptor, the at least one sheet adaptor extending along a portion of the rod towards the proximal end of the rod;a rod engagement surface engaging said exterior surface of said rod, wherein said rod engagement surface is contoured to match a shape of the exterior surface of the rod, wherein said rod engagement surface is sized to engage said exterior surface of said rod and mate with less than half a cross-sectional shape of said rod;a first attachment surface; anda second attachment surface generally opposed said first attachment surface and intersecting said first attachment surface; andan attachment mechanism that is adapted to connect the at least one sheet adaptor to the rod, the attachment mechanism being distinct from the rod and the at least one sheet adaptor. 2. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein said rod is made of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP). 3. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein said at least one sheet adaptor is discretely formed relative to said rod, and wherein said at least one sheet adaptor is affixed to said rod. 4. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 3, wherein said attachment mechanism is an adhesive. 5. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein said at least one sheet adaptor on said rod includes two sheet connectors, said two sheet connectors being substantially identical and engaged on said rod at about a one-hundred eighty degree angular spacing. 6. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, further comprising: a flexible sheet secured to at least said first attachment surface, said sheet extending axially relative to said rod. 7. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein said flexible sheet, said rod, and said at least one sheet adaptor comprise at least a portion of a post-tensioning reinforcement system. 8. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, further comprising: a first flexible sheet layer, said first flexible sheet layer being secured to said first attachment surface; anda second flexible sheet layer separate and distinct from the first flexible sheet layer, said second flexible sheet layer being secured to said second attachment surface. 9. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 8, wherein distal ends of the at least one connector and the rod are disposed between proximal and distal ends of the first and second flexible sheets. 10. The sheet and rod attachment system as recited in claim 8, wherein the proximal ends of the at least one connector and the rod are disposed proximal to proximal ends of the first and second flexible sheets, such that the proximal ends of the pair of connectors are not disposed between the first and second flexible sheets. 11. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, further comprising: a plurality flexible sheet layers on each of said first and said second attachment surfaces. 12. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein the engagement between the at least one sheet adaptor and the exterior surface of the rod extends over an interval of at least seventy-five degrees of the exterior surface of the rod. 13. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 1, wherein the engagement between the at least one sheet adaptor and the exterior surface of the rod extends over an interval of between seventy-five degrees and one-hundred eighty degrees of the exterior surface of the rod. 14. A sheet and rod attachment system comprising: a rod having an outer surface;a pair of connectors attached to said outer surface on opposing sides of said rod, each connector including: a rod engagement surface engaging said exterior surface of said rod, wherein said rod engagement surface is contoured to match a shape of the outer surface of the rod, wherein said rod engagement surface is sized to correspond to the shape of said exterior surface of said rod;a first exterior surface; anda second exterior surface generally opposed said first exterior surface;a first flexible sheet attached to said first exterior surface of each connector and said rod;a second flexible sheet attached to said second exterior surface of each connector, said rod, and said first flexible sheet, wherein the first flexible sheet and the second flexible sheet are attached to one another in a planar configuration; andan attachment mechanism that is adapted to connect the pair of connectors to the rod, the attachment mechanism being distinct from the rod and the pair of connectors. 15. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 14, wherein the engagement between one of the connectors and the exterior surface of the rod extends over an interval of at least seventy-five degrees of the exterior surface of the rod. 16. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 14, wherein the engagement between one of the connectors and the exterior surface of the rod extends over an interval of between seventy-five degrees and one-hundred eighty degrees of the exterior surface of the rod. 17. The sheet and rod attachment system recited in claim 14, wherein distal ends of the pair of connectors and the rod are disposed between proximal and distal ends of the first and second flexible sheets. 18. The sheet and rod attachment system as recited in claim 14, wherein proximal ends of the pair of connectors and the rod are disposed proximal to proximal ends of the first and second flexible sheets, such that the proximal ends of the pair of connectors are not disposed between the first and second flexible sheets.
