QuakeWrap® B26G
Product Description
QuakeWrap® B26G is a high-strength biaxial glass fabric with slightly different strengths in 0° and 90° directions. The fabric is white and is impregnated in the field using QuakeBond™ 300SR Saturating Resin to form glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) used to strengthen structural elements. The fabric weighs 26 oz/yd2 (881 g/m2).
Typical Applications
- Increased live load capacity in buildings and bridges, hospital floors, roofs of buildings, etc.
- Seismic retrofit of structural elements such as columns, unreinforced masonry walls, etc.
- Repair of large diameter pipes to achieve strengthening.
- Repair of damaged structural components caused by aggressive environments, fire, vehicle impact, aging, etc.
- Changes in structural system: new openings in floors, removal of existing walls, etc.
- Correction of design or construction errors: misplaced reinforcing bars, insufficient structural depth.
Features
- Strong and lightweight fabric ideal for confined spaces.
- One application adds strength in two orthogonal directions.
- Used for flexure and shear strengthening as well as confinement.
- Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeBond™ resins.
- Non-corrosive.
- Versatile; can be wrapped around complex shapes.
- Light weight does not alter mass & dynamic loads on structure.
- Special manufacturing of the fabric makes it very stable & prevents fraying.
