RIPSTAR™ LAMINATE
RIPSTAR LAMINATE is a ready to use carbon fibre laminate that provides a high tensile strength and is excellent for supplemental flexural reinforcement of concrete and wood elements with RIPSTAR FRPLAMINATE System.
A
Uses
- To reinforce structures with strong elements in tension, RIPSTAR LAMINATE enables the traditional technique of plating with steel plates to be replaced with extremely light materials that are easy to install.
- Increase the load bearing capacity & the fatigue strength.
- Reduce deformation to the working loads (increase in rigidity)
- Limit or cover the cracking states (increase in durability)
Advantages
- Enables the amount of reinforcement to be calculated and placed in relation to the performance required or the stress flow.
- Enables less and faster maintenance, thereby reducing costs
- Increases the durability of the structures by protecting it against the aggressive action of chlorides and freezing and thawing cycles.
