Structural Strengthening Systems
Six product systems, more than 30 different strengthening materials. Able to meet the material requirements of all kinds of strengthening and retrofitting projects.
Common reasons for FRP structural strengthening:
• Durability problems due to poor or inappropriate construction materials
• Inadequate design or construction
• Aggressive environments not properly understood during the design stages
• Increased loading requirements due to changes of policy or use of structures
• Increased life-span requirements made on ageing infrastructure
• Exceptional or accidental loading
Fiber Reinforced Polymers(FRP) composite strengthening system
HM FRP composite strengthening system provide efficient fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for the structural reinforcement and strengthening of concrete, masonry and timber structures in need of repair or upgrade.
The performance characteristics of FRP compsite strengthening have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications, specifically in aging, damaged or overloaded concrete structures.
HM fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) composite strengthening system can be used to increase the strength of slabs, slab openings, beams, walls, new wall openings, columns, silos, chimneys, piles and pier caps. FRP can be applied to strengthen reinforced concrete and pre-stressed/post-tensioned concrete, steel, masonry and timber.
Advantages of Fiber Reinforced Polymers(FRP) composite strengthening
• Economical and durable
• Easy application
• Extremely high tensile strength
• Outstanding fatigue behavior
• Absolute corrosion resistance
• Ability to upgrade structure while in use
• Upgrades possible even with limited access
