According to survey data, about 25% of the structures in use are damaged, which makes it difficult to use and leads to a decrease in load-bearing capacity. During the construction and operation phases, the external structural reinforcement system can help you solve the following tasks:

· Eliminate design or work execution errors (rebar displacement, actual rebars are inconsistent with the project, use of poor quality materials)

·Increase the bearing capacity of the structure by increasing the design load;

·Eliminate damage to the load-bearing structure during operation;

· Reinforce the floor during the construction of new openings and other major changes to the building.

·Reduce work production costs, time and labor costs

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites for external reinforcement of building structures are becoming more and more popular. Their main advantage is that they are versatile: they are suitable for various purposes of construction, structural reinforcement, repair, and restoration. Due to its unique characteristics, external reinforcement is essential for repairing dilapidated houses, buildings and structures for industrial and civil use, correcting design errors and defects in the construction process, transportation infrastructure, and seismic reinforcement of buildings.

External structural reinforcement systems made of composite materials are designed to reinforce concrete, reinforced concrete, stone, reinforced stone and metal (steel) structures of buildings and structures. As we all know, the structure is destroyed under the influence of natural factors and corrosive environment. The external structural reinforcement system allows you to eliminate the negative effects of these effects, thereby improving the reliability, carrying capacity and durability of buildings and structures, and preparing for extreme loads (for example, in earthquake-prone areas).

Horse Construction "CFRP composite strengthening materials" provide a variety of external reinforcement system elements: carbon tape, fabric, mesh, carbon sheet (laminate), anchoring, epoxy adhesives and adhesives.

Horse external structural reinforcement system is used to repair floors, beams, columns, truss elements, foundations, reinforced concrete frames, stair spans, etc. They are actively (and most importantly, effectively) used for the overhaul and reconstruction of buildings, repairing the structure of buildings after fires and accidents.

External structural reinforcement technology

Horse external reinforcement system is easy to use. Use two-component epoxy adhesive resin to bond high-strength elements (carbon tape, fabric, mesh, carbon plate, multiaxial fabric) to the surface. Next, a protective layer is applied on the reinforcement layer, the choice of which depends on the operating conditions. As a result, the characteristics of the structures and their overhaul cycles have increased significantly.

When using an external structural reinforcement system, it will show many advantages: when building structures are reinforced and seismically reinforced, heavy machinery or special equipment is not required; work can be carried out without stopping the operation of buildings and structures. Compared with traditional structural reinforcement methods, external reinforcement systems are more effective. They enable you to recover and increase the bearing capacity of the bearing in a short time with less labor costs. The external reinforcement of the polymer composite material greatly reduces the service life of structures with relatively low material consumption. This technology is particularly relevant for the restoration of unique buildings (architectural monuments, hydraulic and transportation structures, nuclear facilities).

Reinforcement using composite materials in new buildings

The main application areas of CFRP in new buildings are:

·Highly responsible design, requiring materials with unique properties;

· Structures operating in aggressive environments;

·High-strength elements of complex design schemes and solutions.

In addition, carbon fiber reinforced materials can also be used as external reinforcement materials for the repair and restoration of reinforced concrete and stone structures. It helps to protect the building from adverse environmental factors. This material is practically immune to external influences; it is characterized by chemical resistance and radiation resistance.
