Structural element reinforcement systems and methods

A reinforced structural element (400), comprising:

• a. a structural element (402) extending along an axis (404);
• b. a sleeve structure (410) disposed around a length (412) of the structural element (402) such that there is a chamber (406) between the structural element (402) and the sleeve structure (410), wherein the sleeve structure (410) comprises:
• i. a first segmented layer (412), comprising a plurality of stacked segments (416) which each surround the structural element (402) and a plurality of horizontal seams (418) between the segments (416), the segments (416) disposed along the axis (404), wherein each segment (416) comprises two or more reinforcing shells (420) and two or more vertical seams (424) between the reinforcing shells (420);
• and
• ii. a first splicer layer (480), comprising a plurality of splicers (482) attached to the first segmented layer (412), wherein each splicer (482) is aligned with one or more of the seams of the first segmented layer (412);
• and
• c. a core filler material (426) disposed within the chamber (406) between the sleeve structure (410) and the structural element (402) so as to reinforce the structural element (402).
