The dissemination of science: comparison between carbon fiber reinforcement and bonded steel reinforcement

Nowadays, in the market it always has two methods in the matter of the building structure reinforcement. One is the carbon fiber cloth reinforcement, and the other is bonded steel reinforcement. The reinforcement of carbon fiber cloth structure is undoubtedly newly-developing and cutting-edge technology at present. Moreover, bonded steel adhesive also has a generally large market space. Then the problem comes. What advantages does the carbon fiber cloth reinforcement have compared with the bonded steel reinforcement? Which one is more suitable for our own projects? Let’s listen to the professional explanation of Mankate.

First of all, carbon fiber cloth reinforcement is to glue the carbon fiber cloth on the surface of the building load-bearing structure in order to increase the load-bearing capacity through some techniques.

However, bonded steel adhesive reinforcement is usually to let the steel plate materials bond on the surface of structure to form an entirety that can support each other by means of some epoxy adhesive. This can achieve the purpose of bearing the weight by using the excellent tensile capacity of steel.

The advantages of carbon fiber cloth reinforcement:

1. Saving space and convenient construction;

Because it needn’t go to the construction site to install other facilities. Besides, its own quality and volume are smaller than the steel. So it is naturally convenient and quick.

2. Corrosion resistance and strong durability;

Because the chemical properties of carbon fiber cloth determines itself that is neither easy to be oxidized nor corroded. So this can greatly improve the effects and strength of reinforcement.

3. High tensile strength;

The strength of Mankate’s carbon fiber cloth is about ten times than the ordinary steel plate. So Mankate’s carbon fiber cloth is used in many large municipal projects. For example, Nanjing Metro Line 3

4. Wide range of applications;

Whether it is a large municipal project, historical sites or bridges and viaducts, carbon fiber cloth can be used in all of these places.

5. Low cost;

Because the construction is easier than the steel reinforcement. The cost of labors is low. So is the cost of construction.

Therefore, the application of carbon fiber cloth in different kinds of sites has preceded other traditional reinforcement methods. And the reinforcement technology of Mankate’s carbon fiber cloth is generally recognized in the industry. From the aerospace or subway projects to schools and hospitals, all of these places are using our products.
