Le Duke Condos – Column Strengthening with Carbon Fiber

Repair of concrete columns

Preparing surfaces of repaired columns to receive reinforcement

Reinforcement of columns with Mapei FRP System – an innovative solution for the structural reinforcement of concrete structures based on high-performance composite materials used in high-tech industries, particularly in aeronautics, for their unequaled strength/mass ratio. Consisting of a carbon fiber reinforcement embedded in an epoxy resin matrix, these materials provide reinforcement against bending and cutting forces (beams, floors) and compression (posts). MAPEI FRP System therefore provides effective solutions for multiple situations ranging from sizing or execution errors, to accidents and fires, through developments related to new operating constraints (change of destination of a room, for example ) or creating hoppers.
