Sika CarboDur® S System The Sika CarboDur® system is a high performance structural strengthening system consisting of Sika CarboDur® plates

Description

PULTRUDED CARBON FIBRE PLATES FOR STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING AS PART OF THE SIKA®
CARBODUR® SYSTEM,
carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates designed for
strengthening concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures. Available in various
cross sections.
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.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatc conditions.
USES
Sika® CarboDur® S may only be used by experienced
professionals.
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
Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:
▪ Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
▪ Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
CHARACTERISTICS / 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
