It is known that most of the buildings built in our country before the 1999 earthquake are far behind the earthquake performance that our buildings should have due to application and workmanship errors, use of wrong and inadequate materials, and lack of control mechanisms.
The demolition and reconstruction of these structures will take a long time and high cost. With the academic studies carried out in the world and in our country, it has been proven that carbon fiber composite applications can be made with fast applicability and affordable costs.
While carbon fiber composites constitute the majority of our reinforcement applications, we offer fast and economical solutions in all kinds of structures with our expert technical staff and teams in our country and abroad.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Features
Carbon fiber reinforcement is cut with the help of scissors and placed on the walls. After it is placed in the wall, it solidifies as a steel plate. Since the walls reinforced with carbon fiber contribute to the increase in rigidity during the earthquake, the building is not damaged during the earthquake.
Carbon fiber reinforcement is a material that provides structural strengthening that can be easily applied from outside the building. After reinforcement, these walls are closed with the help of drywall. Thus, it has a normal wall appearance. You will have very durable buildings with a normal wall appearance.
These reinforcement materials are prepared in ways suitable for the area where they will be applied. Before applying these building materials, the area to be applied is cleaned from structures such as dirt and dust. Structural defects on the surface are corrected before the reinforcement materials are applied. Then epoxy adhesives are applied to the area where these structural defects are removed and then carbon fiber reinforcement materials are applied to this area. After the carbon fiber reinforcement materials are applied, one more layer of epoxy should be applied. If the protective coating is then applied, the nature of the damage to the building will be considerably reduced. Oftek Construction helps you to prevent possible damages by strengthening your building with carbon fiber reinforcement materials.
