Carbon Fibre Wrapping System Is A Solution For Structural Strengthening. Carbon Fibre Has Very High Tensile Strength And Is Also Very Lightweight. When Bonded To The Exterior Of A Concrete Column, Beam, Or Slab, It Can Add Significant Strength Without Adding Weight That Would Increase The Load On Foundations And Other Structural Members. A Mix Of Usually Carbon Or Glass Fibre Fabrics, And An Epoxy Resin, Wrapping Systems Are Custom Designed For Each Project And Application.

Using Carbon Wrapping For Columns Reinforcing Bars In New Concrete Can Eliminate Potential Corrosion Problems And Substantially Increase A Member’s Structural Strength. Carbon Wrapping For Columns This Strengthening Technique Causes Minimum Disturbance To The Structural Members As Compared To Conventional Methods. Carbon Wrapping For Columns Is Resistant To Corrosion; Hence They Are Used For Corrosion Control And Rehabilitation Of Reinforced Concrete Structures.

There Are Several Advantages Of This System, Some Of Them Are Explained Below
  • Carbon Fibre Wrapping System Provides Tensile Strength
  • It Offers High In Chemical Resistance
  • It Is Temperature Tolerant To Excessive Heat
  • It Offers Low Thermal Expansion
  • Adds Strength To Concrete
  • Increases Load Carrying Capacity
  • Restoration Of Damages Of Rcc Structures
  • Elimination Of Corrosion Problems
  • Effective In Bending And Shear
  • Protection From Environment Elements
  • Repair Or Prevent Seismic Damage
  • Replace Damaged Or Missing Reinforcing Steel

Glass Fiber Wrapping Can Be Used Where Concrete Looses Its Capacity/Design Strength Due To Corrosion Change In Use And / Or The Design Code Demands Increases In Load Carrying Capacity. It Can Also Be Used For Restoration Of The Damages Rcc Structures And To Regain Its Design Strength.

Fiber Wrapping Is The Latest Strengthening/Enhancement Technology For Reinforced Concrete And Masonry Structural Members. It Is Used For Flexural, Shear Or Confinement Strengthening Of Structural Members. And Ensure Minimum Disturbance To The Structural Members As Compared To Other Conventional Methods.

Advantages
  • Multifunctional Can Be Used In Bending And In Shear.
  • Glass Fiber Is Cheaper And Marginally Less Brittle Than Carbon Fiber When Used In Structural Composites.
  • For The Retrofitting Of Structures Against Seismic Activity, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Or Gfrp Wrap Act As A Shield
  • Low In Weight.
  • Available In Any Length.
  • Flexible, Fits Around Any Given Structural Element.
  • Excellent Chemical And Weathering Resistance.
  • Low Overall Thickness.
  • Economic Application.
  • Easy To Use Solvent Free Impregnating Resin.

Carbon /Glass Fibre Laminates Are Used In Both Sporting Goods And Industrial Applications. This Is The Ideal Material Giving The Laminate Stiffness And Strength. In Addition, Laminates Have Excellent Water And Chemical Resistance. Carbon Fibres Give Improved Strength And Stiffness Properties To The Laminates.

Micro Concrete Is A Specialized High Strength Non Shrink, Free Flow Concrete Used For Strengthening, Retrofitting & Repair Of Structural And Non-Structural Members Of Building Columns, Beam Jacketing, Slab & Bridge Repairing.It Is Supplied As A Ready To Use Dry Powder Which Requires Only Addition Of Clean Water At Site To Produce A Free Flowing Non Shrink Repair Micro Concrete.
