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

Cracked brick supper column repair

These brick columns support one of North America's largest glass furnaces at Owens Illinois in Ohio. SRS-600UNI Carbon Fiber was utilized to provide confinement strength around the cracked brick column beneath the blast furnace.

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

FRP Beam Strengthening Case Study

Repurposing commercial buildings has become an increasing trend. Often times this requires strengthening structural elements in order to accommodate the increased load to the building. Structural Reinforcement Solutions worked with Straight Line Construction Co and Thomas Printz, P.E. to reinforce the beams in this commercial two story building in Pueblo Colorado.

Flexural strengthening of beams for increased load capacity.

Structural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures to meet increased load capacity requirements has become a common application for CFRP and is one of the most effective materials for beam strengthening. In this case the SRS-600UNI serves as supplemental external reinforcement, resisting a portion of the tensile forces from the structure as higher load capacities were required in order to support modifications to the building.

Carbon Fiber Strengthening systems that can perform like a Swiss Army knife

When we set out to develop our roll kits, one of the objectives we had in mind was to provide contractors with systems that had utmost versatility in the field without compromise. Unidirectional and Bidirectional Carbon Fiber can solve a vast spectrum of repairs. Each roll kit is designed to perform in the most demanding of applications - from beam and flexural strengthening to bowed wall stabilization. It was imperative to us that contractors could confidently install SRS co

Bidirectional and Unidirectional Carbon Fiber working together

In this case, a combination of both bidirectional and unidirectional Carbon Fiber are being used to strengthen a block CMU wall. The SRS-660BI is used as a localized crack repair but also provides restraint between the vertical straps similar to a waler system. The SRS-660UNI vertical straps provide increased flexural strength over the entire height of the wall. #structuralstrengthening #structuralengineers #concreteconstruction #structuralengineering #concreterepair #concre

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

Crack repair to crawlspace footing using SRS-660BI Carbon Fiber

Horizontal cracks like this are usually the result of the reinforcing steel too close to the outer edge of the forms. When the forms are stripped, and if the conditions of the steel being hot on the day of the pour, a fine micro crack appears, concrete around the steel curing outwards meeting the normal curing of the concrete curing from the outside towards the middle. Then with seismic activity or maybe foundation settlement, the foundation bends a little, causing the crack

Cracked and broken foundation corners

Cracked and broken foundation corners are a common issue where settlement has occurred in a homes foundation. These types of repairs are effectively carried out using carbon fiber. SRS-600UNI should be installed horizontally in this case to work in tension and restore structural strength to the broken corner. When repairing a broken corner from the interior of a homes foundation, the straps should also be placed on the outside perimeter of the corner. Complete carbon fiber ro

Carbon Fiber column confinement for increased flexural capacity

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), is frequently used for increasing flexural capacity of reinforced concrete columns subjected to bending and compression As we all know, concrete is great in compression but lacks the tensile properties necessary for the demands so is usually poured with steel rebar embedded in it. This rebar provides the necessary tensile requirements so that the concrete can perform for the intended application. If this rebar is missing
