Prestressed carbon plate reinforcement vs carbon fiber

Compared with the traditional reinforcement technology, carbon fiber cloth reinforcement and prestressed carbon plate reinforcement technology have many significant advantages. The most notable feature is that it reduces the difficulty of construction and guarantees the construction effect.

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber reinforcement technology is a new type of reinforcement technology that is reinforced by carbon fiber cloth to improve the stress state of components and limit the occurrence and development of cracks.

When carbon fiber cloth first entered China, many people felt it looked like a "magic cloth", looking thin, but full of energy. Take Horse carbon fiber cloth as an example. Can you imagine that it only has 23% of the weight of steel, but can exert a strength of up to 4300 MPa?

Carbon fiber's characteristics

1.Light self-weight, can operate in a narrow and small space, not affect the normal use of the houses in the construction;

2.High strength, can be used in bending, closed hoop and shear reinforcement flexibly;

3.Has the flexibility, can wrap components with complex shape;

4.Suitable for surface of various components (beams, columns, ventilation tube, pipe, wall);

5.Anti-acid alkali and other chemical corrosion and rugged environments (have no environmental pollution in themselves);

6.Long storage life, allow long operational deadline;

7.High strength, high modulus;

8.Can be the substrates of concrete, masonry structure, wood structure, and many other structures;

9.High temperature resistance, creep resistance under permanent load, corrosion resistance and good seismic resistance performance

Prestressed Carbon Plate

For the reinforcement of large-span beam-slab members, although the construction cost of carbon fiber cloth is low, it is actually a passive reinforcement, and the problem of stress lag will occur. 

The prestressed carbon fiber plate reinforcement technology overcomes this problem. It can improve the bending stiffness of the flexural member, reduce the deflection of the original member, limit the development of structural cracks, and solve the contradiction between the carbon fiber strength and the elastic modulus ratio is too high. Horse's prestressed carbon fiber plate has a tensile strength more than 10-15 times that of ordinary steel, and it performs well in major bridge reinforcement projects. Has been successfully used in Chile, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other markets.

Prestressed carbon plate characteristics

1.High strength carbon fiber plate, increase loading tremendously

2.Achieve high strength of carbon fiber by prestress

3.Active loading by prestress, no train lagging

4.Achieve Reverse bending moment, offset part of loading, increase stiffness, reduce distortion and deflection of members.

5.Reduce cracks, avoid and stop cracking.
