Masonry strengthening with CARBON FRCM

Laterlite

Thanks to Ruregold’s development of structural strengthening systems based on long-fibre carbon composite materials, in the early 2000s it introduce a world innovation: the C-MESH range. In combination with inorganic matrix used as an adhesive (FRCM technology) these meshes have the ability to overcome the limitations of epoxy resins (FRP technology) in terms of their applicability and durability.

C-MESH 182
Unidirectional 182 g/m² carbon fiber for FRCM strengthening system with inorganic matrix.
C-Mesh 182 is a FRCM structural strengthening system with unidirectional carbon mesh and stabilized inorganic matrix for reinforced oncrete constructions. The increased weight of carbon makes it suitable for applications on concrete such as wraps or shear or bending reinforcements. This strengthening system does not use epoxy resins and its performance equals that of traditional FRPs with carbon fibers and epoxy binder.

C-MESH 84/84
Bidirectional 84+84 g/m² carbon mesh for FRCM strengthening system with inorganic matrix.
C-Mesh 84/84 is an FRCM structural strengthening system with bi-directional carbon mesh and stabilized inorganic matrix for reinforced masonry constructions. The increased weight of carbon makes it suitable for applications on masonry such as wraps or shear or bending reinforcements. This rengthening system does not use epoxy resins and its performance equals
that of traditional FRPs with carbon fibers and epoxy binder.

C-MESH 42/42
Bidirectional 42+42 g/m² carbon mesh for FRCM strengthening system with inorganic matrix.
C-Mesh 42/42 is an FRCM structural strengthening system with bi-directional carbon mesh and stabilized inorganic matrix for the reinforcement of masonry structures. The light weight makes it suitable to prevent overturning and for the reinforcement of non structural components, often with the use of PBO connectors. This strengthening system does not use epoxy resins and its performance equals that of traditional FRPs with carbon fibers and epoxy binder.

C-JOINT
Carbon connector for anchoring FRCM systems to concrete and masonry C-Joint is a connection system made of unidirectional carbon fibers for the creation of an anchor between the existing structures and FRCM carbon structural strengthening systems. The connection must be made on site and consists of a bundle of long unidirectional carbon fibers held together in a special mesh which gives the bundle a cylindrical shape.

C-BAR
Pultruded carbon bar with improved adhesion for FRCM structural strengthening system C-Bar is a connection system consisting of pultruded carbon fiber bars with improved adhesion, obtained by sandblasting, with differentiated diameter to meet different structural needs. It is especially used in shear and bending reinforcements of concrete or masonry structures. It guarantees an effective and safe anchorage to any type of substrate, allowing the rigidity of the structure to be increased to the service loads and increasing the load-bearing capacity of the reinforced structure.
