Carbon fiber column strengthening is a modern retrofitting technique that increases a column's shear capacity, ductility, and axial load-bearing capacity by wrapping existing reinforced concrete columns with high-strength carbon fiber polymer (CFRP) fabrics using epoxy resin.

It is suitable for all reinforced concrete columns with insufficient stirrup reinforcement, those damaged in an earthquake, or those that will be subjected to increased loads. It is an effective solution, especially for column strengthening projects in buildings such as residences, offices, hospitals, and schools.

The duration of column strengthening depends on the number and size of columns in the project. However, it is much faster than traditional methods like concrete jacketing, and the building does not need to be evacuated during the application.

The cost of column strengthening is determined by the column dimensions, the amount of carbon fiber material to be used, and the project's static requirements. It is often a more economical solution compared to concrete jacketing. You can contact us for a project-specific price quote.
