Description
Carbon Fiber Fabric
GBTECH is a bidirectional and CARBOTEX (UD) is a Unidirectional
woven carbon fiber fabric with incredible low-weight
to-high-strength-ratio, designed for installation using the dry or
wet application process. These fabrics are applied to the surfaces
of existing structural members in buildings, bridges, beams,
columns, or slabs, these fabrics offer a reliable solution for
enhancing structural stability and durability while enhancing their
load-bearing capacity and structural integrity. The bidirectional
fabric provides strength in both directions, while the
unidirectional fabric is ideal for reinforcing specific areas that
require increased tensile strength.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, brickwork
and timber elements or structures increase flexural and shear
loading capacity.
CHARACTERISTICS/ ADVANTAGES
• Manufactured with heat-set weft fibers to keep the fabric
stable
• Multi functional fabric for use in many different strengthening
applications
• Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and
geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos
etc.)
• Available in different widths for optimum utilization
• Low density for minimal additional weight
• Extremely cost effective in comparison to traditional
strengthening techniques
USES
• High strength to weight ratio can add significant strength to a
structure without adding significant deadload
• Excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis
• Correcting structural design and/ or construction defects
• Increasing resistance to seismic movement
• Improving service life and durability
• Very high strength to thickness or weight ratio - Appreciable
increase in strength and load carrying capacitywithout significant
increase in dead load
• Enhanced stiffness, shear & tensile capacities - Increased
load carrying capacity and better resistance to seismic forces and
dedication
• Economical- Easy to install, time & labour saving
• Increasing the loading capacity of structural elements
