Near Surface Mounted
Sika® Carbodur® BC8 AP
Sika CarboDur BC8 AP is a carbon fibre composite system based on high strength and high modulus indented CARBON FIBER RODS for structural strengthening of concrete and masonry elements. It consists of two components: Sikadur-30 adhesive for bonding reinforcement and Sika CarboDur-laminates.
Use
The Sika CarboDur BC8 AP system can be used to strengthen reinforced concrete and masonry structures due to: Loading increases - Damage to structural parts - Change in structure - Design or construction defects
Characteristics and Advantages
- Low in weight
- Available in any length
- Easy to transport
- Economical application, no heavy handling and installation equipment
- Very high tensile or flexural strength can be achieve
- High modulus or elasticity
- Outstanding fatigue resistance
- Can be coated without preparation
SikaWrap® Anchor C
SikaWrap® FX-50C is a unidirectional carbon fibre string, encased in a plastic
envelope, that serves as fibre connector for the anchorage of SikaWrap fabrics.
Use
- Anchoring SikaWrap® carbon and glass fibre fabrics on concrete or masonry
- Connecting SikaWrap® carbon or glass fibre fabrics through concrete or masonry structures
- Flexible near surface mounted strengthening (NSM)
Characteristics and Advantages
- Carbon fibre, corrosion resistant, durable
- Multifunctional use
- Easy to install
Sika® CarboDur® S NSM
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.
Sika CarboDur® plates can also be bonded into slots as near surface mounted
reinforcement using Sikadur®-30 or Sikadur®-330 epoxy resin based adhesives for
normal application temperatures, additionally Sikadur®-33 or Sika AnchorFix®-3+
epoxy resin based adhesives supplied in cartridges can be used.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about
each of these adhesives.
Use
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
Characteristics and 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
Colour
