Product Description: The T-1/T-2 series carbon fiber plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel andfibre reinforced polymer structures. The T-1/T-2 series carbon fiber plates are bonded onto the structureas externally , bonded reinforcement using epoxy resin based adhesive for room temperatures curing.
Applications : 1.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 2.Damage to structural elements due to: ▪ Deterioration of the original construction materials ▪ Steel reinforcement corrosion ▪ Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire) 3.Improvement of serviceability and durability: ▪ Reduced deflection and crack width ▪ Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement ▪ Improved fatigue resistance 4.Change of the structural system: ▪ Removal of walls and / or columns ▪ Removal of floor and wall sections to create access /openings 5.Resistance to possible events: ▪Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc. 6.To repair design or construction defects such as: ▪ Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement ▪ Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
Advantages and Benefits: ▪ 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 severallayers ▪Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of production by pultrusion
