Concrete Jacketing
Concrete jacketing is a strengthening process whereby a section of an existing structural member is restored to its original dimensions or the cross sections are increased using suitable materials. This method is used for damage repair or design error to increase the capability of the structure and extend its service life.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
Strengthening of Structures using the application of CFRP Material, which can reduce the unnecessary works
and minimizes the period of time required for rehabilitation particularly for operational premises. CFRP is
available in a variety of shapes, including strips; wrap tissues, CFRP slotted bars CFRP rods and CFRP
anchors.
The CFRP can be used to compensate the cut bars in a concrete opening, to compensate the missing
reinforcement in RC slabs beams to a certain extent, might be used to increase the column capacity and can
compensate the shear problems. Vision Catalyst can provide a full assessment for each project to be able to
introduce the right technical solution solving the problem, choosing the construction materials in line with
the client requirements in term of quality and cost effectiveness.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
GFRP material can be used for the Strengthening of various structures, similarly to CFRP; it is dependent of the nature of structure, budget and design requirements. This process going into the same process of CFRP.
Slab Thickening
Thickening of slabs is a strengthening process whereby a section of an existing structural slab is not designed to carry the loads or if the stress is failed due to additional loads. By thickening of the slab will increase the cross-sectional area of the slab using additional steel mesh with steel anchors to connect the the existing slab with the new slab using suitable materials could be micro-concrete or high strength of concrete mix. This method is used to increase the capability of the structure and extend its service life.
