Corporation is the provider of Carbodur carbon fiber systems. Whether
in fabric form or pultruded carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) laminate
(as shown in the photo), this system is effective in addressing strengthening,
flexural, shear and confinement issues on beams, walls, columns, pipes,
tunnels, silos, tanks, chimneys and slabs. For more information you
can go to www.sikausa.com. The
pre-saturated laminates reduce the possibility of contractor error
and simplify the entire process. The project displayed involved the
change in use of an old warehouse to a new microbrewery. Additional
strengthening was required for the upper level to carry the added
load of large vats. |
