Carbon Fiber Solutions for Structural Repair and Reinforcement

By alex.eclatcontent@gmail.com on September 14, 2021

The global infrastructure industry is fast replacing traditional building materials such as concrete, wood, and steel with carbon fiber composite solutions for structural strengthening— and for good reason.

Carbon fiber offers superior performance against corrosion, resists deterioration, and lasts longer than traditional building elements. It reinforces the structure in a non-invasive way, without changing its interior or exterior look. Additionally, carbon wrap reinforcement systems provide strength and resilience to a structure at ten times that of steel. Depending on the environment, carbon fiber can last up to 50 years.

Finally, carbon fiber solutions are faster to install and at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional cement or steel reinforcement. We’ll cover the additional benefits carbon fiber provides and how you can use it below.

Utility of Carbon Fiber in Infrastructure

At Advanced FRP Systems, we use the most innovative and cost-effective carbon fiber solution for reinforcement — from bridges to piers, to dams, docks, and more.

Carbon fiber wraps can be applied to repair many structures made from traditional materials, including:

  • Deteriorated and Spalling Concrete
  • Corroded Steel
  • Cracked Concrete Column
  • Restoring Load Capacity
  • Seismic-Related Deficiencies
  • Structural Related Deficiencies
  • Harsh Environmental Protection
  • New Construction

Advantages of Carbon Fiber Advantages:

  • Offers superior strength and corrosion resistance
  • Provides more thermal capabilities over traditional materials
  • Gives minimal changes to weight or appearance
  • Flexible carbon fiber wrap conforms to any shape or size
  • Is faster to repair than traditional materials
  • Doesn’t need welding
  • Doesn’t require heavy equipment to use
  • Offers better ROI and is more affordable
  • Makes minimal noise and disruption during prep and installation

Application of Carbon Fiber Composite in Infrastructure

Carbon fiber solutions include reinforcement, sheets, wraps, and other composite materials designed for projects subject to progressive collapse and corrosion, including:

  • Concrete Columns
  • Concrete Slabs
  • Concrete or Masonry Walls
  • Piers
  • Docks
  • Seawalls
  • Penstocks
  • Dams
  • Bridges
  • Beams
