Compared with traditional methods, the reinforcement technology of carbon-wrapped columns has the least interference to structural members. Effective use of carbon fiber reinforced concrete or polymers can significantly increase the life of the structure and minimize maintenance requirements. The columns wrapped in carbon fiber are corrosion resistant, so they are used for corrosion control and repair of reinforced concrete structures. Carbon fiber reinforced concrete and carbon wrapped columns are also widely used to strengthen concrete structures.
Application of carbon wrap for column
When building a floor higher than a stilt or adding a floor above the first floor/bungalow, reinforcement columns are necessary to be able to bear the weight of the new structure. Carbon fiber cloth wrapped foundation columns is the most mature technology for strengthening concre.
