3 SIKA FRP PRODUCT RANGE MAIN FRP STRENGTHENING MATERIALS Prefabricated systems CFRP plates L-shaped plates NSM applications Post-tensioned CFRP system Structural adhesives Manual application systems Fabrics Anchorages tails Grid FRP meshes Structural adhesives Prefabricated systems represent 80% of the current applications in Europe, as they are usually considered as a safer system (lower safety factors and less restrictions regarding the unevenness of the concrete surface, ) and higher efficiency during the installation process. 3 November, 2013 CFRP Workshop

6 INTRODUCTION MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF FRP SYSTEMS CARBON FIBER GLASS FIBER ARAMID FIBER STIFFNESS PRICE TENACITY STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING SEISMIC MASONRY STRENGTHENING SEISMIC IMPACT BLAST MITIGATION 6 November, 2013 CFRP Workshop

7 FRP STRENGTH FIBERS COMPARISON ULTIMATE STRENGTH 5000 MPa 4000 MPa 3000 MPa 2000 MPa DESIGN STRENGTH 1000 MPa STEEL Carbon Basalt Glass Aramid 7 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

8 DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRP SYSTEMS 1967: Structural Adhesives initially developed for steel plate bonding for Strengthening 1970 Long Term Test at EMPA (still ongoing) Steel: long-term durability is critical as a result of the risk of corrosion. From 90s, steel plates were progressively substituted by CFRP systems. 8 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

9 SIKA FRP PRODUCT RANGE CFRP RANGE DEVELOPMENT 1982: Tests of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Plates for Structural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Cyclic Load Test >50 test beams Climatic Test (heat+humidity) 9 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline 1989 PhD Thesis H.-P. Kaiser, EMPA, Switzerland

10 SIKA FRP PRODUCT RANGE FIRST APPLICATION OF SIKA CFRP PLATES 1991: First Application of CFRP plates for Structural Strengthening of a bridge Ibach Bridge, Zurich (Switzerland) 10 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

11 CFRP STRENGTHENING OF BEAMS AS A SIMPLIFICATION: 11 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

12 COLUMN CONFINEMENT POISSON S EFFECT Due to the Poisson s effect, the concrete is transversally expanded when compressed. This expansion leads to the collapse of the column, as concrete has a very limited capacity for elongation. Hence, if the transversal expansion is restricted, the final strength increases 12 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

13 COLUMN CONFINEMENT POISSON S EFFECT To avoid the lateral expansion, its necessary to ensure a confinement around the element, by using a rigid material with a high strength. This material must keep the geometry of the member when it tries to expand. 13 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

18 SIKA CARBODUR SOFTWARE: KEY ADVANTAGES PROFESSIONAL Unlike simplistic excel sheets or calculation tools, the Sika CarboDur software comprises highperformance calculation possibilities for real situations, for example: Strengthening of full structural members according to its loads distribution. The design is not based on a single section Calculation of complex geometries both for reinforced or prestressed concrete members. Full FRP range of solutions (bonded, NSM, postensioned CFRP) according to the local availability 2D and 3D interaction diagrams for columns, allowing the calculation of elements exposed to axial + bending simultaneously 18 October 2015 Structural Strengthening design based on ACI 440 Guideline

29 DARBY RIVER- VIC Solution: The site had to be completely encased to ensure there was no contamination of the river waterway or surrounding native bushland. The result is a successful rehabilitation and strengthening of the Darby River Bridge that achieved the result with minimal disruption to traffic flow allowing full access to one of Australia s most spectacular national parks.

44 SIKA CARBOSTRESS (POST TENSIONED CFRP) SIKA CARBODUR CFRP SOLUTIONS

45 SUMMARY CFRP application is easy and quick to apply and eliminates all the hassle using steel, etc. Bonding is critical, though. So needs decent substrate preparation. Being applied on concrete, steel and timber, successfully. Obviously requirements are different. Seismic upgrade. Durable. Still can be protected against UV, fire, CFRP a good solution for many cases, but not the only one. Limitations apply. 45 November 26, 2015Title of Presentation / Meeting Name
