BS-LT Carbon Fiber Laminate

Carbon fiber laminates are typically manufactured by pressing multiple layers of carbon fiber fabric or unidirectional carbon fiber together under high pressure and temperature, using a high-strength epoxy resin. The resulting plate or laminate is then cut into various sizes and shapes, depending on the specific application.

The use of carbon fiber laminates in construction is revolutionizing the way we build and repair structures.

Their unique combination of properties makes them an ideal material for strengthening and reinforcing various types of structures, including:

• Concrete structures - bridges, buildings, and infrastructure
• Masonry structures - walls, arches, and historical buildings
• Steel structures - beams, columns, and industrial equipment

By leveraging the benefits of carbon fiber laminates, construction professionals can:

• Increase load-carrying capacity
• Enhance seismic resistance
• Improve structural integrity
• Extend lifespan
• Reduce maintenance costs

The advantages of carbon fiber laminates in construction are undeniable and their adoption is poised to transform the industry. Carbon fiber plates are versatile and can be used to strengthen various types of structures, including:-

Concrete structures:

• Beams: increase flexural strength, shear strength, and stiffness
• Columns: enhance compressive strength and stability
• Slabs: improve flexural strength and resistance to cracking

Masonry structures:

• Walls: increase resistance to seismic and wind loads - Arches: enhance structural integrity and stability

Steel structures:

• Members: increase load-carrying capacity and stiffness
• Anchoring options: mechanical fasteners, adhesive anchors, or a combination of both

By applying carbon fiber plates, structural engineers and contractors can significantly enhance the performance and durability of various structures, ensuring improved safety and reduced maintenance costs.

DESIGN:

BS-LT carbon fiber laminate aplication design must be designed by a design professional. The detailing of BS-LT shall be designed in accordance with recognized design guidelines/codes. This ensures meeting the design performance specified for the application. For expert design and technical support, contact Blitzstrength Construction Solutions Pvt. Ltd

APPLICATION:

1. Setting out according to design

2. Remove painting of the concrete surface and polish, blow out the floating dust with compressed air.

3. Prepare Epoxy Adhesive (BS-ER 180L) : Mix component Aand B evenly in bucket. Mix ratio by weight A: B = 2:1.

4. Paste the epoxy adhesive (BS-ER 180L) onto the surface of carbon fiber plate evenly, please avoid bubbles.

5. Paste the carbon fiber plate onto the concrete surface and remove extra epoxy near the plate, and fix with steel framework.

6. Waiting for the epoxy to cure, curing time should be no less than 24 hours at room temperature.

Storage & Handling: Store the material in a cool place away from direct sunlight or any source of ignition and fire. Keep away from the reach of children in a well ventilated place.

Health & Safety Precautions: Wear protective glove, goggles, and nose masks while handling and using the material. In case of splashes on the skin and contact with eyes wash thoroughly with plenty of water. In case of ingestion and inhalation remove the personnel to fresh air. Seek medical advice in all the above cases. The disposal of excess or spilled material shall be carried out in accordance with local regulations.
