CARBON FIBER

GEOSCIENCE ENGINEERING & LABORATORY SERVICES provides fully comprehensive, complete systems for all kinds of structural strengthening. Whether the requirement is to increase the bending, shear or seismic resistance, tested and proven GEOSCIENCE ENGINEERING & LABORATORY SERVICES systems are available for use on reinforced concrete, steel, wood and masonry load-bearing structures. 

Carbon fibre strengthening is a process where carbon fibres are inserted into an object to make it more durable and strong. Carbon fibre strengthening can be used in many different industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, civil engineering and construction.

The benefits of using carbon fibre reinforcement include improved strength and durability; lower weight; increased stiffness; improved fatigue resistance; reduced corrosion from humidity or saltwater exposure. Carbon Fibre Strengthening is a great investment for any company looking to improve their products or reduce costs!

The first time Carbon Fibre was used as reinforcement on an engineering product dates back to 1932 when it was incorporated into aluminium wing skins for high-performance aircraft by Drigol Company in Italy. Since then many other industries have adopted its use; such as sports equipment (tennis rackets), bicycle frames, car bodies and electrical cables to name just a few.

Carbon Fibre improves strength and durability when used in a building structure because it's stronger and more durable than concrete.

Carbon Fibre typically weighs less than steel, so it can be beneficial for building structures when trying to cut on weight. This approach may also result in cost savings as the material are cheaper than steel and aluminium. are being used in the replacement of an existing structure rather than using new materials (i.e., replacing wood with carbon fibre).

Stiffness is important because it helps resist bending or flexing from forces applied against them like gravity, wind, snow loads etc... CFRP tends not to lose stiffness over time which makes it better suited for use in long term projects that need stability such as bridges.

CFRP is more resistant to damage from environmental factors like humidity and saltwater because it does not absorb moisture. It also has low electrical conductivity which is beneficial when exposed to corrosive environments (i.e., high-salt environments), preventing electric current corrosion/damage.

CFRP can be applied both internally and externally, with the exception of using vacuum bagging on external surfaces; this creates a protective layer over the surface that prevents resin leaking through itself in its liquid form during the curing process * The use of Carbon Fibres for construction is still relatively new so there are many questions yet unanswered such as how they will hold up against earthquakes or whether their effectiveness differs between.

Carbon Fibre is strong because Carbon Fibres are made from carbon atoms that are bound together in each direction, forming a grid-like structure. This makes the material incredibly stiff and lightweight. In comparison to steel, for instance, Carbon Fibre has 15 times more stiffness but only half of the density!
