S&P C-Sheet 240 | High-strength carbon fibre fabric

S&P C-Sheet 240 fabrics are primarily used as an externally applied structural reinforcement system (adhesive-bonded fabrics, applied to the external surface of structural members), to increase axial load-bearing capacity and energy absorption, to improve shear and flexural performance (low-quality substrate), as well as to increase the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete elements, load-bearing masonry and timber that bear loads in general.

For the most part, these specialised fabrics are used for the external (closed) confinement of vertical concrete elements (columns) or to form an open reinforcement jacket (in beams and beam-slabs).

These systems are ideal for resolving design and/or construction defects, for modifications and addressing changes to the original structural design, and for compensating for conditions in load-bearing elements, where additional shear reinforcement is required (adding and increasing the density of connectors near joints – a critical area – as well as at the ‘base’ or ‘head’ of columns). Similarly, to address damage, deterioration or even structural failure of elements resulting from natural causes (such as, for example, seismic activity) and to accommodate loads arising mainly from changes in use or function, and so on. These systems may also serve as measures to counter accidents caused by impacts, vandalism, explosions and fire; they are also used to ‘lock’ the ends of flexural reinforcements with S&P CFK Lamellas
