Sika® CarboDur® S

Description

Sika® CarboDur® plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced
polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for
strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and
fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika® CarboDur® plates are bonded onto the structure
as externally bonded reinforcement using Sikadur®-30
epoxy resin based adhesive for normal, or Sikadur®-
30 LP epoxy resin based adhesive for elevated temperatures
during application and / or service.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for
more detailed information about each of these adhesives.
USES
Sika® CarboDur® S 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
