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.
Features:
Non-corroding
Very high strength
Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
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
