Pultruded carbon fibre plates for structural strengthening as part of a Sika CarboDur system

Sika CarboDur E plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika CarboDur E plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using Sikadur-30 epoxy resin based adhesive.Refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed adhesive information.

Non corroding
Very high strength
Excellent durability
Unlimited lengths, no joints required
Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossings
Easy transportation (rolls)
Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support)
Minimum preparation of plate, applicable in several layers
Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of production by pultrusion
Testing and Approvals available

Usage

Sika CarboDur E systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:

Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections
For the installation of heavier machinery
To stabilise vibrating structures
For changes in building use

Damage to structural elements due to:

Deterioration of the original construction materials
Steel reinforcement corrosion
Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)

Improvement of serviceability and durability:

Reduced deflection and crack width
Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement
Improved fatigue resistance

Change of the structural system:

Removal of walls and / or columns
Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openings

Resistance to possible events:

Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.

To repair design or construction defects such as:

Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
Insufficient / inadequate structural depth

Advantages
