BET10® CARBON LAMINATE

DESCRIPTION

BET10® Carbon Laminate is a type of plate material that is made with pre-manufactured carbon fiber reinforced polymer. It is specifically designed to enhance the flexural strength and stiffness of reinforced concrete, steel, and wooden structural components.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

BET10® Carbon Laminate systems are pre-manufactured laminates made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer plates. These laminates can be utilized in a variety of structural elements to enhance the bending strength and stiffness of beams, slabs, and steel or wooden members. They can also be employed to increase the load-bearing capacity of floors with heavy equipment, improve the stiffness of beams and slabs that deflect, compensate for section losses caused by installations such as ducts and stairwells, reinforce beams and slabs in structures where usage and service loads vary, and absorb stresses caused by vibrations from machines installed on reinforced concrete slabs.

ADVANTAGES

• Compared to traditional reinforcement methods like steel or concrete wrapping, BET10® Carbon Laminate system is quicker and easier to apply.
• It helps to reduce deflections in slabs and beams caused by service loads due to its high modulus of elasticity.
• The system also increases the load-bearing capacity of structures, enabling them to support new loads resulting from changes in building use.
• Being lightweight, it does not add any significant extra weight to the structure.
• The building doesn’t need to be evacuated during reinforcement work, which can be carried out with partial adjustments.
• Additionally, it has high tensile strength, even higher than the steels used in prestressed concrete industry.
