Sika

CarboDur
Heavy-Duty CFRP Strengthening System

Description Heavy-duty strengthening system for reinforced concrete and timber.
System components: Sikadur-30 adhesive for bonding reinforcement and Sika
CarboDur-laminates.

Uses To strengthen reinforced concrete and timber structure for :
Loading increases
Increasing the live loads warehouses
Increased traffic volumes on bridges
Installation of heavy machinery in industrial buildings
Vibrating structures
Changes of building utilization

Damage to structural parts
Ageing of construction materials
Steel reinforcement corrosion
Vehicle impact
Fire

Serviceability improvements
Decrease in deformation
Stree reduction in steel reinforcement
Crack width reduction

Change in structural system
Removal of walls or columns
Removal of slab sections for openings

Design or construction defects
Insufficient reinforcements
Insufficient structural depth

Advantages Low in weight
Available in any length, no joints required.
Low overall thickness
Easy to transport (rolls)
No preparation of the Sika CarboDur-laminates
Laminate intersections are simple
Economical application-no heavy handling and installation equipment.
Very high strength
Available in various modul of elasticity
Outstanding fatigue resistance
Can be coated without preparation
Akali-resistant

Notes on Design General remarks
A Sika CarboDur-laminate has no plastic deformation reserve.
Therefore the maximum bending resistance of a strengthened section is reached
when laminated failure occurs during steel yield and before concrete failure. The
mode of failure is influenced by the laminate cross-section. To limit crack widths
and deformation the yield point should not be reached in the reinforcing bars under
service conditions.
Any shear cracks which occur must be prevented from causing displacement on the
strengthened surface and shearing of the laminate. Stress and deformation
calculations can be made by the normal methods. They should be verified in
accordance with standards SIA 160 (1989) and 162 (1989).

Procedure for assessing the condition of the structure
Dimension (geometry, reinforcement, evenness of surface to be strengthened),
quality of existing construction materials, ambients climatic conditions, agreed
conditions of service.

Verifications Bearing safety :
Non strengthened structure (with allowance for a reduced total safety factor
= 1.0)
Strengthened structure (with the mode of failure described above, check on the
strains)
Shearing of laminate
Anchorages

Fatigue resistance :
Check on concrete and steel stresses

Serviceability :
Deformation (with average strains, assuming elastic behaviour of the structure
and timebased strain changes in the concrete)
Steel stressed (no plastic deformation in service conditions).
Crack widths (by limiting the steel stresses in service conditions)

Instruction For User
Important Notes


Mix Sikadur-30 at low speed (max. 500 rpm) so that as little air as possible is
being entrained.
Work the adhesive well into the concrete surface.
Minimum adhesive strength of the prepared concrete substrate is 1.5 N/mm
2
.
The Sika CarboDur system must be protected from direct sunlight.
Maximum admissible service temperature is +50
o
C.
The instructions in the Technical Data Sheet must be followed when applying
Sikadur - 30 adhesive.

Substrate Condition Concrete :
Clean, free from grease and oil, dry, no loose particle or laitance. Concrete age,
depending on climate, 3 to 6 weeks minimum.
Preparation: Blast-clean, scabble or grind.

Timber :
Clean, free from grease and oil, no loose particles.
Preparation: Blast-clean or grind.

The surface to be coated must be level, with steps and form work marks not greater
than 0.5 mm.
After cleaning, remove all dust from the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Planeness of substrate to be checked with a metal batten. Tolerance for 2 m length
max. 10 mm, or 2.5 mm for 50 cm length respectively.

Mixing Predosed Pack :
Stir the material well in the original containers. Add component B to component A.
Mix with an electric low speed hand mixer (max. 500 rpm) for about 3 minutes to
uniform appearance. Entrain as little air as possible.

The pot life begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high
temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the
shorter the pot life. To obtain longer workability at high temperatures, the mixed
adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill components A
and B before mixing them.

Application If there are large blowholes on the concrete surface, these must first be filled with
Sikadur 741 repair mortar. The Sikadur-30 adhesive must be used as a bonding
layer to ensure a good bond with the concrete substrate.

Apply the well-mixed Sikadur-30 adhesive carefully to the properly prepared
substrate with a spatula to form a first layer about 1 mm. Place the Sika CarboDur-
laminate on a table and clean it with Colma Cleaner. Apply the Sikadur-30 adhesive
with a roof shaped spatula onto the CarboDur-laminate to a thickness of 1 to 2 mm.

Within the open time of the adhesive, depending on temperature, place the Sika
CarboDur laminate onto the concrete surface. Using a roller, press the laminate into
the epoxy material until the adhesive is forced out on both sides of the laminate.
Remove surplus epoxy adhesive. Samples should be made up on site to check the
adhesive used in respect of curing. When the Sikadur-30 adhesive has cured, the
tear-off film on top of the laminate can be remove. As final check, test the Sika
CarboDur-laminate for hollows by tapping lightly. The top of the laminate can be
painted with a coating material such as Sikagard-62 or Sikagard-550 Elastic.

Cleaning Clean tools immediately with Colma Cleaner. Wash hand and skin thoroughly in
warm soap water. Before curing Sikadur-30 components A+B are a water pollutant
and should not be discharged into drains, waterways or soil.

Colma Cleaner and Sikadur-30 residues must always be disposed of properly.
Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
