Speciality of material
go top*more about products*
Strengthening of carbon fiber which was created by the US and Japan is applicable for civil engineering recently. It is well applicable for strengthening of columns. Strength of encirclement which is caused by viscidity will strengthen toughness of columns to reinforce the ability earthquake-resistant and compress-resistant.
Speciality:
1.High performance
Strength of carbon fiber is always higher than of steel. Even strength of some is quadruple of strength of steel.
2.To reinforce the toughness of section
Carbon fiber is high-strength material. It is fit for current standard of earthquake-resistant because of its high strength of encirclement which will reinforce toughness of construction when it is applied to strengthen column.
3. Light weight
Carbon fiber is lighter than aluminium. Earthquake force caused by carbon fiber is enough low for its light weight. So, carbon fiber is a very good material for reinforcement.
4.Not to change the shape of column before
Carbon fiber doesn’t change the shape of column before when they are reinforced, even the shape of square, rectangle, hexagon and others.
5. To hardly be influenced by space
Carbon fiber work well in small space even only 10cm-high space
6.Good permanence and corrosive resistant
Carbon fiber have good resistance capability to salt, soil and corrosive condition.

How to use

Step by step:
1.Surface treatment
  1. To abrade the surface of concrete structure and do milling with grinding wheel machine, and clear out sand caused by weathering, dissociative lime, mould separating reagent, cement separated, part brushed and dunghill etc.
  2. To clear out powder and loose block on the surface with injector without air pressure, grinding wheel machine and brush. To make it dry enough after washed with water.
2.Repair of section
  1. To clear out the surface of concrete structure (desquamation, hole, honeycomb, corrosive parts etc.). To make rust protection treatment if there are any rebar exposed, then, to repair them with epoxy-resin slurry and other whose strength are equal to strength of concrete or higher.
  2. Those cracks are injected with epoxy resin.
  3. To make water stopping treatment if those cracks leak.
3.To make surface flat
  1. To cut away plumpness of surface with cutter or grinding wheel machine, and fill up the sunken with epoxy resin or resin-slurry.
  2. To treat plump corners (r>=mm), and fill up corners sunken.

4.Brushing with primer
Don't operate when rain or dew possibly or temperature below 5℃. To use appropriate epoxy resin after temperature and humidity are confirmed.
  1. To mix round reagent and hardener appropriate with portable auto-blender in the pail, and make them well-proportionable. To mix them appropriately, and don’t use it if it is overtime (according to the introduction of products).
  2. To brush uniformly with brush wheel, and brush again according to spot condition (after surface curing time). Amount of use varies with the direction of operation and the coarseness of surface.
  3. Harding time is about 3~12h by touch with fingers.
5.To affix with unilateral carbon fiber

Don't operate when rain or dew possibly or temperature below 5℃. To use appropriate epoxy resin after temperature and humidity are confirmed.

 

  1. CFRP patch is cut into parts in the light of design previous. The length of 2m or below is appropriate. Amount of use is in terms of requirement for good storage.
  2. Harding time is ensure by touch with fingers. When primer has been made over a week, brush the surface of operation flatly with cement.
  3. To mix round reagent and hardener appropriate with portable auto-blender in the pail, and make them well-proportionable. To mix them appropriately, and don’t use what is overtime (according to the introduction of products).
  4. To brush uniformly epoxy resin on the surface of primer with brush wheel. Amount of use varies with the direction of operation and the coarseness of surface. TO use heavy at the corners.
  5. After affix unilateral CFRP patch on the surface of epoxy resin, tear down the protection paper. Then, mop the surface of patch twice and thrice along the direction of unilateral CFRP patch with brush wheel and rubber knife to make patch permeant and avoid air bladder.
  6. To mop flatly with wheel and rubber knife in 30min, if CFRP thread plump or rupture.
  7. To brush resin on the surface of CFRP patch (the means is similar to means e), to mop along the direction of unilateral fiber with brush and rubber knife to make patch permeant well.

  8. To repeat means d~g when affix patch twice or more.
6.Maintaining
When work out of door, use plastic film to protect from rain, sand, dust etc.
  1. After operation of unilateral CFRP patch is finished and CFRP patch feel dry with fingers, cover it with plastic film which can't touch the surface of operation.
  2. To cover it over 24h.
  3. When average temperature is 10℃, maintaining time is not less than two weeks. When average temperature is 20℃, maintaining time is not less than one week.
7.Protection of surface
  1. CFRP itself has the function what can prevent ultraviolet radiation to avoid resin damaged. When surface of operation is irradiated, it is appropriate to spread perdurable dope and resin slurry.
  2. To spread protection after resin’ surface curing time.
  3. To work according to standard of different dope.


Requirement

1.About temperature
Viscidity of primer and epoxy will be up when cool. So, rigidification will become slow and don't rigidify completely. Don't operate below 5℃.
2.About humidity
Water is harmful to attaching of the primer and epoxy resin. To make water- stopping treatment if some cracks leak. Don't operate when dew possibly.
3.Surface treatment
To cut away the plumpness of surface and fill up the sunken with epoxy resin or resin-slurry. The radius of plump corners is not less than 10mm with 1mm’ max-error.
4.Use of primer and epoxy resin
To adjust viscidity by temperature up, and don't dilute it with organic reagent. To mix reagent and hardener appropriately, and don't use it if it is overtime.
5.About CFRP
Don't fold CFRP patch at random. To leave 10cm-length along the direction of unilateral fiber to connect with the next when to attach, and needn't do it along the other direction.
