Carbon fiber reinforcement is one of the products that have attracted the most attention in recent years among building reinforcement. Due to its structure, it becomes more flexible than steel, which helps the structures to become stronger than before. It is known that these products are frequently used for protection against natural disasters on earth. Since our country is a country experiencing intense earthquake risk, it is strongly recommended to reinforce buildings with carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber reinforcement is a reinforcement technique that helps the structure to survive thanks to external applications. Thanks to epoxy-based resin and carbon fiber weaving, it helps the structures to survive during a natural disaster that may occur by increasing the flexing margins of the structures.
These products are generally preferred in reinforced concrete structures and wooden structures. Once applied, they will be the biggest helpers of the load-bearing elements in the structure in terms of load bearing and will increase their capacity. Carbon fiber reinforcement, which also helps structures in terms of fatigue resistance, does not cause an increase in the dead load of the structures since it has a light structure.
These reinforcement materials are many times thinner than steel in terms of structure. Since its weight is considerably less than steel, it does not burden structures. At the same time, its tensile properties are more advantageous than steel. In buildings and structures where these products are used, the possibility of collapse decreases as rigidity increases during major natural disasters such as earthquakes. Thus, it provides high security.
