PROPAM® CARBOCOM F

PROPAM® CARBOCOMP TEXTIL is a system based on using unidirectional carbon fibre(CFRP) fabric with great tensile mechanical strength, for reinforcing concrete, steel, brick wall andwooden structures.

Fields of application	Structural changes: Reinforcement of elements subject to compression due to confinement. Shearing reinforcements in beams. Traction reinforcements in elements subject to bending such as beams,joists,slabs. Removing supporting elements (walls,columns…). Opening of gaps in slabs for installations,stairs,etc. Changes in use: Due to increases in service loads. Installing heavy machinery in buildings. Increase in traffic on bridges. Structural deterioration or damage in service: Significant improvement in earthquake behaviour. Protecting structures against the effects of the impact. Ageing of the materials making up the structure. Reduction of the rebar sections due to corrosion. Impacts. Reduction of arrows and deformations. Controlling,reducing and stitching structural cracks and fissures. It improves the structure’s behaviour against fatigue. Execution or project errors: Insufficient rebar or poorly fixed. Drop in the envisaged concrete strength. Cutting resistant elements and rebars with a drill.
propiedades	Very high mechanical strength, ten times higher than steel. Very lightweight, unnoticeable weight in the structural calculation. Versatile: suitable for reinforcing compression, cutting or traction elements. Its minimum thickness allows it to maintain the original shape and appearance of the structure. Adaptable to the reinforcement needs at each point using several layers. Very easy to transport and install. It does not show corrosion, and is maintenance-free. Excellent fatigue strength. Excellent durability and good chemical strength.
