UD CARBON FIBER

UD CARBON FIBER is a unidirectional carbon fiber fabric with high mechanical performance for Structural Repair and Reinforcement . The carbon fiber sheet are adhered to the structure using Epoxy Resin to achive structural strengthening effect.

UD carbon fiber sheet were developed to meet the stress demands on structures, such as bending and shearing , increasing load capacity, recovering damaged elements, among other uses .

The application of the carbon fiber strengthening system is quick and easy , allowing the structure to be up and running in a short time. After installation, the system can be covered, in around 24 hours, with different materials (mortar, plaster, plaster, etc.).

Benefits of Carbon Fiber for Strengthening

Carbon Fiber Sheets provide numerous benefits for Recovery and Structural Reinforcement , such as:

• Easy and quick installation;

• Great cost-benefit ratio;

• High tensile strength and fatigue resistant;

• High adhesion to the substrate;

• Easy transport to the site;

• Does not corrode in aggressive environments;

• Fast running structure after installation;

• Simple, flexible and economical reinforcement technique;

• Very light and low thickness structural reinforcement;

• Adaptation to different geometries of structural elements;

• Flexible application, ideal for curved elements (water tanks, tanks, silos, etc).

Useage

Carbon Fiber have a variety of applications to Repair or Reinforce concrete, masonry and wood structures. The main uses of carbon fiber sheets are:

• Increased capacity of beams, slabs and pillars;

• Increased strength and ductility of structures;

• Increased axial load bearing capacity from confinement;

• Increased service load;

• Recovery of structures with reinforcement corrosion;

• Reduction of structural deformations;

• Correction of execution and design flaws (inadequate armature or section);

• Completion of missing steel section;

• Increased seismic resistance and large vibrations;

• Increased performance and durability;

• Changing the use of the structure;

• Adequacy to current standards;

• Recovery from pathological manifestations;

• Impact accidents, fires and earthquakes.
