|
Speciality of material |
|
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. |
|
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 | |
|
|
2.Repair of section | |
|
|
3.To make surface flat | |
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
6.Maintaining | |
When work out of door, use plastic film to protect from rain, sand, dust etc.
When average temperature is 20℃, maintaining time is not less than one week. |
|
7.Protection of surface | |
|
|
|||
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. |

Preface | |||
RC construction must be reinforced to make it safe when they become danger because of fire, damage of material and load alter etc. Methods of reinforcement include altering construction system and reinforcing strength of construction component, such as beams and columns.
On altering construction system, methods of adding walls, declining shore, and columns alter load system as a whole. Thus, construction system load is shared to make old construction reinforced.
On reinforcing strength of construction component, reinforcement of steel plates (or FRP etc.) is a method in common use. Commonly, altering construction system is a economical, effectual method if the method don't change function of old construction. However, the method can generally damage function of old construction. Thus, the method is difficult to use effectually.
The method, reinforcing strength of construction component, is not economical, but it is a popular method when we consider benefit as a whole (function is more important than reinforcement cost).
The reinforcement method of construction component includes steel plates (or FRP) reinforcement and enlarging section and bar of members. When we use the method of enlarging section and bar of members, we should consider the ways of operation of interface between new and old concrete and bar's joint and fixation. The effect of operation can be evaluated by current RC theory. So, we can gain our ends for construction reinforcement.
However, enlarging section of members will reduce active space. It is difficult to accept the method because it is so expensive to buy a block of land or house in modern city. Thus, the method of steel plates (or FRP) reinforcement is more popular than that.
When we reinforce RC construction with steel plates, we should affix steel plates on two sides of beams with epoxy resin and anchor them at appropriate point with bolts to form sandwich beams. The bend theory of the sandwich beams display that the method of affixing steel plates on two sides of beams can reinforce moment and shear of old RC beams.
According to theory above and experimental result, this paper present a simple and effectual design table and design method to be adopted by construction engineers when they make some designs for reinforcement of RC beams.
