QuakeWrap® U27C
Product Description
QuakeWrap® U27C is a high-strength, high modulus unidirectional carbon fabric. The fabric is black in color and is impregnated in the field using QuakeBond™ 300SR Saturating Resin to form a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) used to strengthen structural elements. The fabric weighs 27.8 oz/yd2 (943 g/m2) and the fibers are primarily in the longitudinal (0°) direction.
Typical Applications
- Strengthening of the structural elements in buildings, bridges, and other structures due to increased loads.
- Seismic retrofit of structural elements such as columns, unreinforced masonry walls, shear walls, and diaphragms
- Repair of large diameter pipes and culverts to achieve strengthening and water-resistance
- 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
Features
- High-strength and lightweight fabric ideal for confined spaces
- Used for flexure and shear strengthening as well as confinement
- Fully compatible and excellent adhesion to QuakeBond™ resins
- Non-corrosive
- Can be formed to strengthen and repair complex shapes
- Light weight does not alter dead load of structure
- Alkali resistant
- Special manufacturing of the fabric reduces potential of fraying
