CARBOPLATE SYSTEM is an FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymers) structural strengthening system consisting of preformed pultruded carbon fibre plates and epoxy resin adhesive which, thanks to its high mechanical properties combined with its low weight and compact thickness of just a few mm, enables beams and floors to be strengthened without modifying the stiffness of the structure while also increasing the ductility of each of the strengthened elements.
CARBOPLATE SYSTEM may be used for flexural strengthening of floor beams and floor joists.
CARBOPLATE SYSTEM may be used for flexural strengthening of concrete and wooden beams and joists, to strengthen two-dimensional structures such as plates and storage tanks with a large bend-radius, access ramps for vehicles and bridge and viaduct decks.
CARBOPLATE SYSTEM is a highly beneficial way of replacing traditional cladding for structures using steel plates (which are very heavy and suffer from corrosion) while simplifying application procedures and reducing application time, all without modifying the dimensions of the strengthened element.
Using CARBOPLATE SYSTEM has the following advantages:
CARBOPLATE SYSTEM is made up of plates with varying modulus of elasticity, widths and lengths to meet specific design requirements and needs more precisely.
CARBOPLATE SYSTEM is certified CVT (European Technical Assessment) by the Italian Technical Commission of the Superior Council of Public Works.
