Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has over the past two decades became an increasingly recognized material used in structural engineering applications. Used with increasing effectiveness since their introduction in the aero-space industry in the early 1960’s, composite materials offer a number of distinctive advantages for structural strengthening.
Retrofitting of concrete structures has become an increasingly dominant use of the material in structural engineering applications. Such uses include increasing the load capacity of existing structures (such as existing parking garages) that were designed to tolerate far lower service loads
Other uses include seismic retrofitting, and repair of damaged concrete structures. Retrofitting with CFRP in many instances can be a cost-effective method of structural strengthening. CFRP is also widely used to strengthen concrete structures that have lost reinforcing steel mass due to corrosion and concrete deterioration.
The advantage of CFRP over steel as a reinforcing material is due to many benefits which include: Light Weight, Non-Corrosive, very high tensile strength, available at any length.
Strengthening structures with enlargements, Overlays and Supplemental Steel Section enlargement and Bonded Overlays are used to improve strength, increase stiffness or reduce crack widths at service levels. Consisting of additional concrete added to an existing structural member, they may also incorporate additional reinforcement.
Span shortening can reduce the bending and shear forces on overstressed beams, joints, and slabs. Typically, structural steel member and cast-in-place reinforced concrete members are used for span shortening applications
Externally Bonded steel Shapes are attached to existing concrete surfaces to add strength and stiffness to deficient members. External steel shapes include plates, channels, angles, or built-up members.
