How does Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) work for Concrete Crack Repair
How does Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) work to structurally reinforce cracks in concrete. This cross section of cracked concrete illustrates the role the two components play in this repair application. The heavy weight commercial grade bidirectional fabric contains bundles or tows of carbon, each containing 12,000 filaments of fiber. These tows bridge the crack and are permanently bonded to the concrete using the SRS-1000 Structural Epoxy Resin. This high viscosity a
