Learn how carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping can strengthen damaged or under-capacity concrete columns while adding minimal weight and thickness. Explore common applications, benefits, installation steps, design considerations, and SRS system components.

The SRS Engineering team developed a stamped design for stem wall crack repair. The design utilizes the strength of the commercial grade...

Hurricanes and severe storms can cause extensive damage to properties in high risk areas. This recently completed project on North...

More foundation repair contractors are turning to carbon fiber as a permanent solution to retaining wall repairs. Often wall tiebacks...

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

SRS is proud to work with some of North America’s best structural repair companies that are utilizing carbon fiber to rehabilitate and preserve vital concrete infrastructure. The spectrum of projects we have shared in over the last few years speaks volumes about the increased need for CFRP solutions.

Foundation repair contractors expose cracks like this everyday. Understanding the causation of the problem is key to addressing an...

A critical brick column supporting a glass furnace required rapid structural reinforcement. See how SRS used carbon fiber confinement to strengthen the existing masonry with minimal disruption.

Ocean front concrete buildings are highly susceptible to the effects of prolonged exposure from salt water in the environment. Once the...

Learn what 12K carbon fiber tow means, how thousands of individual carbon filaments form structural CFRP fabrics, and how SRS carbon fiber systems are used to strengthen concrete, masonry, and other structural components.

Learn why CSP 3 surface preparation is essential for CFRP bonding and how to properly grind, repair, clean, and inspect concrete or CMU before installing carbon fiber reinforcement.

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
