Carbon Fiber / FRP
A partial list of applications where CFRP and other FRP materials are commonly used:
- Seismic/earthquake building retrofitting (small commercial to large high-rise building)
- Bridge reinforcement
- Piers (pile and pillar reinforcement)
- Bridge strengthening
- Parking structure seismic/strengthening
- Masonry retrofitting
- Water tanks
- Dams
- Stadiums
- Concrete pipes
When structural reinforcement and strengthening is required, FRP is often the best quality, most cost effective, and time efficient option.
Utilizing FRP materials will significantly reduce costs, downtime and provide superior structural strengthening compared to utilizing steel plates, rebar, welding, nuts & bolts, jackhammering and concrete pours - the go to solutions in the recent past. Today’s engineering and utilization of FRP materials have revolutionized building technology in much the same way cellular phones have revolutionized communications.
Beginning the late 1990’s, FRP has been extensively used in California for seismic/earthquake retrofitting of highways, bridges and over crossing infrastructure. FRP is currently used in major cities along California’s West Coast to bring buildings and infrastructure up to current earthquake/seismic building code requirements.
When budget, time and effective solutions are required, FRP Structural Solutions is the best company in the industry to assist you.
