Sika Carbodur M
Pultruded carbon fibre plates for structural strengthening as part of the the Sika carbodur system – Type CLM(1) compliant to AS5100.8
Sika® CarboDur® M plates are pultruded carbon fibre
reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for
strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and
fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika® CarboDur® M plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using
Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesive for normal, or
Sikadur®-30 LP* epoxy resin based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application and / or service,
long lead times and quantities apply.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for
more detailed information about each of these adhesives.
Uses
Sika® CarboDur® M suitably experienced and trained
specialist contractors.
Sika® CarboDur® systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of
structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:
- Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and
bridge sections - For the installation of heavier machinery
- To stabilise vibrating structures
- For changes in building use
Damage to structural elements due to:
- Deterioration of the original construction materials
- Steel reinforcement corrosion
- Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)
Improvement of serviceability and durability:
- Reduced deflection and crack width
- Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement
- Improved fatigue resistance
- Change of the structural system:
- Removal of walls and/or columns
- Removal of floor and wall sections to create access /
openings
Resistance to possible events:
- Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:
- Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
- Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
Characteristics / Advantages
- Combination of very high strength and high stiffness
- Non-corroding
- Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
- Unlimited lengths, no joints required
- Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossings
- Easy transportation (rolls)
- Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead
(without temporary support) - Minimum preparation of plate, applicable in several
layers - Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of
production by pultrusion - Extensive testing and approvals available from many
countries worldwide
