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

Concrete Column Strengthening and Repair in Maryland

This recent concrete column strengthening project, completed by the experts at Maryland Mold & Waterproofing provided a permanent reinforcement solution for this multi residental commercial building. The repair involved wrapping four of the six 18” reinforced columns with Structural Reinforcement Solutions 600 Unidirectional carbon fiber. Following the CFRP installation the columns were coated in an exterior paint for UV protection and to blend in with the existing concrete e

Concrete Balcony Restoration

Ocean front concrete buildings are highly susceptible to the effects of prolonged exposure from salt water in the environment. Once the corrosion begins to reach the reinforcing steel the deterioration of the concrete elements is accelerated. Structural Reinforcement Solutions worked with Coastal Engineering & Surveying, Inc. to provide a permanent strengthening solution for the supporting columns on the balcony of this condominium building on the Outer Banks, in North Caroli

Strengthening a newly built foundation

Even newly poured foundations can require additional reinforcement. This foundation was poured with a poor concrete mix that required additional strengthening before the structure could be built upon it. Utilizing the confinement strength of SRS-660 Bidirectional Carbon Fiber, the foundation was fully encapsulated in 24" CFRP to meet the required loads for the build. #structuralrepair #structuralstrengthening #structuralreinforcementsolutions #structuralengineering #structura

Increase the load capacity of structural wall openings

The use of carbon fiber for strengthening of the openings of new or existing concrete structures has become a widely used and common repair for this application. Concrete restoration contractors who specialize in these types of repairs often comment on the obvious advantages of CFRP vs traditional strengthening methods. The ultra thin profile of the reinforced composite can easily be installed around mechanical components that often prohibit traditional steel installations th

Foundation Stem Wall Repair

Bidirectional carbon fiber provides permanent reinforcement of cracks in deteriorated foundation stem walls. Once a crack develops and moistures is able to get to the reinforcing steel, corrosion begins. As the corrosion progresses it worsens the condition of the concrete around the reinforcing steel. In order to repair these areas, the deteriorated concrete needs to be removed and the rebar corrosion needs to be addressed. Once the corroded rebar is addressed, the concrete c

CFRP column wrapping for increased load carry capacity

Load carrying capacity can be increased by wrapping columns horizontally. The strength added is similar what you get from the spiral or hoop rebar typically included in these columns. If the design load is being increased or if there is section loss in the existing reinforcing steel, CFRP can be used to remedy this situation and help prevent a compressive failure in the column. Other possible solutions to handle such situations are to add a reinforced concrete jacket or addit

Structural capacity lost due to deterioration of the reinforcing steel, repaired with CFRP

In cases where structural capacity is lost due to deterioration of the reinforcing steel, CFRP can be used to strengthen and restore structural components, such as this crawl space in California. In this case, the use of SRS-660 BI accomplishes two things. It provides strength across the repair to keep the patch material in place and also adds strength along the straps length to make up for any resulting strength reductions related to section loss of the corroded reinforcing
