SikaWrap 900-C
Stitched unidirectional carbon fibre fabric, designed for structural strengthening applications as part of the Sika strengthening system
SikaWrap-900 C is a unidirectional, fleece stabilised stitched heavy carbon fibre fabric made of mid-range strength carbon fibres, designed for installation using the wet application process.
- Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
- Flexible and accommodating of different surface planes and geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos etc.)
- Low density for minimal additional weight
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
- Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
- Flexible and accommodating of different surface planes and geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos etc.)
- Low density for minimal additional weight
- Extremely cost effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques
