Boracay Hotel Structural Reinforcement Project By Carbon Fiber
In the Philippines
In order to improve its earthquake and wind resistance and keep the hotel's appearance intact, they chose to use carbon fiber sheet for structural reinforcement.
Project location: Boracay, Philippines
Project objective: To improve the earthquake and wind resistance of the hotel structure by reinforcing it with carbon fiber sheet.
Structural assessment: Before the project started, a detailed structural assessment was conducted to identify the key areas that needed to be reinforced.
Selection of carbon fiber sheet: Based on the results of the structural assessment, a flat carbon fiber sheet suitable for the project was selected. Carbon fiber sheet is woven from high-strength carbon fiber yarn and has excellent tensile strength and stiffness.
Reinforcement method: The carbon fiber sheet is bonded to the surface of the building structure through an adhesive. In key areas, workers covered the carbon fiber sheet on the columns and beams and fixed it to the original structure using special adhesives.
Construction process: During the construction, the workers followed strict safety regulations and operating procedures to ensure the quality and safety of the work. They used professional equipment and tools to correctly apply the carbon fiber sheet to the surface of the structure and ensure that it was firmly bonded to the original structure.
Result evaluation: After the reinforcement work was completed, a structural performance test was conducted to verify the reinforcement effect. The test results showed that the application of carbon fiber sheet significantly improved the overall strength and stability of the hotel structure.
Result: By using carbon fiber sheet for structural reinforcement, the hotel has enhanced its earthquake and wind resistance while maintaining its appearance, providing a safer and more reliable environment for hotel guests and employees.
