Sika Carbodur S

Pultruded carbon fibre plates for structural strengthening as part of the Sika carbodur system, CLS(2) laminate according to AS5100.8

Sika® CarboDur® S plates are pultruded carbon fibre
reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for
strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel, and
fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika® CarboDur® S plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using
Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin-based adhesive for normal, or
Sikadur 30LP is an epoxy resin-based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application and/or service,
however 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® S 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

• Non-corroding
• Very high strength
• Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
• Unlimited lengths, no joints required
• Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossing
• Easy transportation (rolls)
• Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support)
• Minimum preparation of the plate, applicable in several layers
• Smooth edges without exposed fibres as a result of production by pultrusion
• Extensive testing and approvals available from many countries
