Carbon Fibre for Superior Concrete Beam Reinforcement
When it comes to reinforcing concrete beams, the choice between carbon fibre and steel plate holds significant implications for structural durability, performance, and long-term maintenance. While both materials offer reinforcement solutions, carbon fibre emerges...
Use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer for structural strengthening is a “game changer”
The strength of most elements in a concrete structure can be significantly improved by using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates, rods, fabric and wrap for increasing flexural, compression and shear/tensile load capacity of elements such as beams,...
Application of FRP Composites in Strengthening the Reinforced Concrete Headstock of a Bridge Structure
Worldwide interest is being generated in the use of fibre-reinforced polymer composites FRP in the rehabilitation of aged or damaged reinforced concrete structures. As a replacement for the traditional steel plates or external posttensioning in strengthening...
The Question: Replace or Repair Australia’s Ageing Infrastructure?
Many of Australia’s bridges, sewage and water systems, and other infrastructure are reaching the end of their serviceable lives and the choice for government is whether to replace or extend their lives. It has been reported that this applies to over 600 bridges in...
Geopolymers can be described as “Materials for this Century”
Geopolymers are finding application in many industries including automobile, aviation, civil engineering, concrete manufacture, building and repairing, ground stabilisation and many others. An interesting example in civil engineering is the Toowoomba, Brisbane West...
