Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composites To Increase Capacity Of Reinforced Concrete
The industrial plant is facing additional loads, installing new equipment, and increasing storage capacity. These additional loads exceed the bearing capacity range of the original design, so it is necessary to reinforce the beams and columns to adapt to the new working conditions.
Carbon fiber has excellent strength and stiffness characteristics, while also possessing lightweight characteristics. Compared to traditional steel reinforcement methods, carbon fiber reinforcement can significantly reduce structural load, reduce self weight, and provide considerable strength and stiffness, which helps to increase the load-bearing capacity of the structure.
