Exploring the Durability of Carbon Fibre Strengthening Process
When considering concrete repair and strengthening solutions, durability is a paramount concern. Among the various methods available, carbon fibre strengthening stands out as a promising option renowned for its strength and longevity. In this exploration, we delve...
Maintenance of Concrete Expansion Joints
FCS Concrete Repairs are fully resourced to provide maintenance and repair services for concrete Expansion Joints in commercial, industrial and residential properties. Expansion Joints in carparks and hardstand areas can also be repaired through permeation grouting...
Joints are not the problem; Cracks are!
Joints are placed in concrete pavement to accommodate slab movement and to prevent natural cracking. The theory is that cracking will follow along the joints if they are correctly positioned. The first concrete pavement slabs had no real design and no crack control...
The Strength of the Surface of the Concrete Substrate and of the Adhesive are Critical Factors in the Use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers
Carbon Fibres have been developed for the aerospace industry which needed a material which combined high strength, high stiffness and low weight. In recent years the Construction Industry have recognised the potential of this material to provide solutions for...

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...
