REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM Flexural strengthening with carbon fibre fabric
Description
» REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
» FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING WITH CARBON FIBRE FABRIC
The problem
- The beam has deficiencies in longitudinal flexural reinforcement caused by a change in load conditions or by a degradation of the initial performances of the materials.
The solution
- The longitudinal reinforcement may be supplemented by the use of unidirectional carbon fibre fabrics, with fibres placed parallel to the axis of the beam, and directly bonded to the restored intrados of the beam itself
