Carbon Wrapping

We would like to briefly introduce M/s. Gubbi Civil Engineers which is a well established organization for the past 20 years, with Structural repairing and waterproofing work being carried out in India.

Carbon Wrapping can be used where concrete looses its capacity / design strength due to corrosion change in use and / or the design code demands increases in load carrying capacity. It can also be used for restoration of the damages RCC Structures and to regain its design strength.
Carbon fiber has very high tensile strength and is also very lightweight. When bonded to the exterior of a concrete column, beam, or slab, it can add significant strength without adding weight that would increase the load on foundations and other structural members. The composite material is called carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). CFRP wraps are easy to apply and can be used on any size or shape of structural member. Traditional techniques for strengthening, such as adding concrete and reinforcing steel around the outside of a structural member (often with concrete), external post-tensioning, or adding structural steel supports (shoring) often are more expensive due to the extra work to get everything into place.
