Advantages of carbon fiber strip strengthening

The use of carbon fiber strip with epoxy adhesives has been used for more than 13 years within the construction sector and is a better alternative to traditional reinforcements such as metallic platform, metallic structures, layers of compression.

Advantages compared carbon fiber strip strengthening with other types of reinforcements

retrofit by carbon fiber strip

Advantages of carbon fiber strip strengthening

• Short construction period

• No maintenance required

• Easy installation, low installation cost

• Light weight, no influence to original structure

• Corrosion resistance, long-term effect of 50 years

• Cost effective compared with other retrofitting method

• 1 layers of CFRP laminate is equivalent to 4-8 layers of CFRP fabric

Other types of reinforcement

1. Strengthening by metallic platform

Reduced application time without the need for soldering or mechanical anchoring. The life of the reinforcement is increased because it is not exposed to corrosion.

2. Strengthening by metallic structures

reduces the application time and does not reduce the heights, or free heights of the areas to be reinforced. The life of the reinforcement is increased as it is not exposed to corrosion.

3.Strengthening using layers of compression

reduces application time, and no extra weight is added to the structure. In case of use of metal reinforcement for the screed, you can be affected by corrosion and see its useful life diminished.
