Sika Carbodur S NSM

Pultruded carbon fibre plates for structural strengthening as part of the Sika carbodur system.

Description

Sika® CarboDur® plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for
strengthening concrete, timber and masonry
Sika® CarboDur® plates are bonded into slots as near
surface-mounted reinforcement using Sika Anchor-
Fix®-3+, Sikadur®-330 or Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin
based adhesives for normal application temperatures, or Sikadur®-30 LP* epoxy resin-based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application. Sikadur®-300
epoxy resin based adhesive is used for horizontal applications.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for
more detailed information about each of these adhesives. * Made to order, minimum Qtys and lead times
apply. Please check with your local Sika Branch.

Uses

Sika® CarboDur® S NSM may only be used by experienced professionals.
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
• Easy transportation (rolls)
• Lightweight, very easy to install
• Minimum preparation of plate
• Smooth edges without exposed fibres as a result of
• production by pultrusion
• Extensive Testing and Approvals available from many
  countries worldwide
