Reinforcement of RC Columns
HM Carbon Fiber Project in Turkey
To mitigate these risks and ensure the structural integrity of the building, carbon fiber reinforcement materials was selected as the preferred solution.
Project Overview:The project involved addressing structural risks in a newly constructed building where load-bearing columns were compromised due to application errors during construction. To mitigate these risks and ensure the structural integrity of the building, carbon fiber reinforcement materials was selected as the preferred solution.
Challenges Faced:During the construction phase, errors occurred in the application of materials to the load-bearing columns. This led to concerns about the columns' ability to withstand the intended loads and maintain long-term stability.
Solution Implemented:The decision was made to reinforce the load-bearing columns using carbon fiber reinforcement. Carbon fiber offers exceptional strength and stiffness properties, making it ideal for enhancing the load-carrying capacity of structural elements.
