Reinforced concrete structures often face performance modifications and improvements during their service life. The influencing factors include changes in its use, new design standards, and deterioration caused by steel corrosion due to exposure to corrosive environments and accident events such as earthquakes.

CFRP technology is addressing these issues by using different types of products. One type is carbon fiber cloth, while the other type of product is carbon fiber laminate. It is made of unidirectional carbon fiber impregnated with adhesive and cured in autoclave. The epoxy resin impregnation in production enhances the reliability of the material and eliminates the phenomenon of uneven impregnation of carbon fiber with epoxy resin at the construction site.

Carbon fiber laminate is a composite material composed of multiple layers of carbon fiber cloth arranged in a predetermined direction, then impregnated with materials such as epoxy resin, and compressed into solid sheets. Its working principle is to stick carbon fiber laminates onto the surface of structural components that need to be reinforced, using their high strength and stiffness to counteract the deformation and vibration of structural components under stress, thereby improving the overall performance of structural components.

Carbon laminates increase load-bearing capacity and can repair general building structures, industrial buildings, bridges, and other structures made of different materials. It also increases the operational load on structures in industrial and civil facilities. It can restore the load-bearing capacity of the structure, make it seismic resistant, limit the formation of surface cracks, and improve stiffness. When you remove support, wall, and floor debris and fix design and construction errors, it also changes the static plan.

Carbon laminates have excellent performance combinations, such as light weight, corrosion resistance, excellent mechanical strength and stiffness, which can easily solve the problems at hand. During the installation process, it is applied in the form of flexible fabric, and then soaked with a resin matrix to harden it into a very sturdy material with a strength to weight ratio.
