Repair, retrofitting and strengthen it is better than new

Around the world, carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) has become the new standard for strengthening structures. First, with the right carbon fiber reinforced polymer, your structure can be 10 times stronger than steel. Secondly, it takes much less time to install. Thirdly, the cost of installation is only a small part compared to the traditional ones with more cement and steel bars.

Carbon fiber solutions include wrap, plates and other composite materials to reinforce columns, beams, slabs and other important structural elements. In addition, it lasts longer and provides a non-invasive way to strengthen without changing the appearance or external characteristics of the structure.

Benefits of fiber reinforced polymer for concrete repair and retrofit

Cost is lower than traditional methods

Quick and easy installation with minimal access

In the past 30-50 years, depending on the environment it was put into, it can last longer under perfect conditions.

10 times stronger than steel

preservative

Increase the weight of the structure with little or no weight

Non-invasive, will not change structural characteristics

Can be painted and painted to add UV protection

Fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) is widely known for its engineering strength and ability to prevent progressive collapse. The carbon wrap strengthening system increases hardness, strength and flexibility while maintaining a lightweight footprint. You will not add any mass or change the size of the structure more than 1/4 inch. It is powerful and easy.

Fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) is designed to be used where additional reinforcement and reinforcement are required:

Improve the load-bearing capacity of concrete and masonry structures.

The ability to restore concrete structures due to deterioration.

Correct design or construction errors.

Extend the building or structure.

The situation of earthquake modification or impact damage.

Why choose HORSE carbon fiber reinforced polymer FRP system?

From bridges to docks, from railways to buildings, HORSE uses the most cost-effective and innovative carbon fiber reinforced polymer FRP system for reinforcement and retrofitting.

Structural retrofitting and strengthening using fiber reinforced polymers FRP

The strength of fiber-reinforced polymer FRP may vary, but is always three times greater than the final strength of steel in the same cross-sectional area. In addition, the composite provides the same final strength even if its density is only 20% steel.

In fiber-reinforced polymer materials, the peeling effect of the end of the sheet is much smaller, because the composite sheet is thinner, but stronger, and does not require end fixing. Transportation and installation costs will also be relatively low.

Steel plates are highly susceptible to corrosion, leading to structural deterioration and reducing their durability, while the rate of deterioration of composite plates is very small. In addition, compared with steel plates, composite plates have lower thermal conductivity and therefore have better fire resistance. Therefore, the FRP system will not be affected by fire and heat-related issues for a long time.

Steel plates require high maintenance due to corrosion and subsequent effects, and they need to be painted and painted regularly to prevent corrosion. On the other hand, the composite does not require high maintenance because it is not prone to corrosion.
