Sika® CarboDur® S NSM

PULTRUDED CARBON FIBRE PLATES FOR STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING AS PART OF THE SIKA® CARBODUR® SYSTEM

Sika® CarboDur® plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber and masonry
Sika® CarboDur® plates are bonded into slots as near surface mounted reinforcement using Sika AnchorFix®-3+, Sikadur®-330 or Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesives for normal application temperatures, or Sikadur®-30 LP epoxy resin based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application. Sikadur®-300 epoxy resin based adhesive is used for horizontal applications.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about each of these adhesives. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Usage

Sika® CarboDur® systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:
  • Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections
  • For the installation of heavier machinery
  • To stabilise vibrating structures
  • For changes in building use
Damage to structural elements due to:
  • Deterioration of the original construction materials
  • Steel reinforcement corrosion
  • Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)
Improvement of serviceability and durability:
  • Reduced deflection and crack width
  • Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement
  • Improved fatigue resistance
Change of the structural system:
  • Removal of walls and / or columns
  • Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openings
Resistance to possible events:
  • Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:
  • Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
  • Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
