Description
Sika® CarboDur® plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika® CarboDur® plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesive for normal, or Sikadur®-30 LP epoxy resin based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application and / or service.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about each of these adhesives.
- Non-corroding
- Very high strength
- Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
Usage
Sika® CarboDur® systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:
- Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections
- For the installation of heavier machinery
- To stabilise vibrating structures
- For changes in building use
Damage to structural elements due to:
- Deterioration of the original construction materials
- Steel reinforcement corrosion
- Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)
Improvement of serviceability and durability:
- Reduced deflection and crack width
- Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement
- Improved fatigue resistance
Change of the structural system:
- Removal of walls and / or columns
- Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openings
Resistance to possible events:
- Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:
- Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
- Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
Advantages
- Non-corroding
- Very high strength
- Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
- Unlimited lengths, no joints required
- Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossings
- Easy transportation (rolls)
- Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support)
- Minimum preparation of plate, applicable in several layers
- Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of production by pultrusion
- Extensive Testing and Approvals available from many countries worldwide
