Structural reinforcements
Structural reinforcement building is implemented through the use of carbon-fiber tape, which provide additional reinforcement. The carbon-fiber tape is made of fibers of carbon embedded in resin. It is used to reinforce cracked structures made of reinforced concrete, concrete, wood or brick.
The use of carbon-fiber tape allows stabilization and reinforcement of the structure in case of:
- Increased loads acting on the foundations (e.g., changing the uses of structures, expansion of production lines in industrial plants, increased payloads on bridges)
- Damage to objects (e.g., corrosion, displacement of the foundation, fires, weathering, aging of elements)
- Design changes to the structure (e.g., removal of walls, additional openings in walls or floor slabs)
- Removal of design and execution flaws
Advantages of carbon-fiber tape:
- high tensile strength and fatigue strength
- high durability - resistance to corrosion, weather conditions
- can be applied in layers, in any length
- does not require the use of specialized equipment
- low labor cost and short execution time
- wide possibilities of application (concrete, steel, wood)
We strengthen the structure by additional external reinforcement in the form of carbon-fiber tapes or steel reinforcement.
