Quick Answer

Material shortlist for this application.

A carbon fiber structural strengthening system includes UD carbon fiber fabric, pultruded CFRP plates and structural epoxy resin for concrete, bridge and building reinforcement projects.

Why carbon fiber is used

Where the material advantage comes from.

UD carbon fabric provides directional reinforcement for surface bonding on beams, slabs, columns and walls.
Pultruded CFRP plates provide high axial stiffness for externally bonded strengthening.
The epoxy resin system is part of the material system and must be selected for substrate and project conditions.
