SikaWrap-231C
SikaWrap-231C is a unidirectional woven carbon fibre fabric with high strength, designed for installation using the dry or wet application process.
- Manufactured with heat-set weft fibres to keep the fabric stable
- Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
- Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos etc.)
Usage
Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, brickwork and timber elements or structures, to increase flexural and shear loading capacity for:
- Improved seismic performance of masonry walls
- Replacing missing steel reinforcement
- Increasing the strength and ductility of columns
- Increasing the loading capacity of structural elements
- Enabling changes in use / alterations and refurbishment
- Correcting structural design and / or construction defects
- Increasing resistance to seismic movement
- Improving service life and durability
- Structural upgrading to comply with current standards
Advantages
- Manufactured with heat-set weft fibres to keep the fabric stable
- Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
- Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos etc.)
- Available in different widths for optimum utilisation
- Low density for minimal additional weight
- Extremely cost effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques
