Use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer for structural strengthening is a “game changer”

by Ken Penfold | Feb 16, 2017 | Blog, News, Post

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, columns,...
