Reinforcement of Bridge & Jetty StructureUsing Resin Impregnated Carbon Fabric RELINFORCETM System

Changing social needs, upgrading of design standards, increased safety requirements, and deterioration result in existing reinforced concrete structures such as bridges and jetties to be strengthened. Strengthening of defective members is usually accomplished by construction of external reinforced concrete or shotcrete jackets. An alternate technique involves the reinforcement by Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in the form of thin laminates or fabrics or jackets.

With increasing focus and emphasis on the sustainability of existing infrastructure, Reliance Industries Limited introduces an innovative reinforcement solution RELINFORCE cladded with advanced technology.

RELINFORCE product lines can be used to rehabilitate and strengthen the damaged or deficient concrete structures to take the designed lateral loads with the use of carbon wrap technology.

Know The TechnologyWhat is Carbon Wrap Technology?

Carbon wrap technology is a cost-effective and innovative solution for restoring the world’s infrastructure. It doesn’t just repair degraded structures, it makes them stronger than new. It makes jetties and bridges stronger. It can also protect against harmful effects of seismic forces.

Unlike traditional retrofit or reconstruction techniques that require demolition and reconstruction of part or whole failing structures, Carbon wrap goes right over the existing substrate. This minimizes disruption during repair and saves significantly on installation time and costs. Applied in the form of a flexible fabric during installation, it is then saturated with a resin matrix, allowing it to harden to a strong, unyielding material with a strength-to- weight ratio that exceeds fifty times that of steel.
