APPLICATION PROCESS OF FRP ON DISTRESSED SURFACES
• SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

• Sound bond to a sound substrate.

• The skin of the concrete can be the weakest

EL
link in the strengthening process.

PT
• Remove the dust, dirt, oil,& any other

N
material on the concrete surface then make
rough by proper methods like
• Abrasive blasting,
• Grinding,
• Water jetting.
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)
• Repair the cracks, spalls and other surface voids by the suitable repair
mortar or epoxy injected.

• The corner must have round edge min.5 to 10mm rad. in square and
rectangular element.

EL
PT
N
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• Top coat is to be applied

• Once the substrate surface is prepared,

EL
an epoxy primer coat is applied using a

PT
short or medium-tap roller.

N
• Typically the primer epoxy is of low
viscosity allowing to penetrate the
concrete.
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• Next, using trowel, an epoxy putty


or paste be applied to fill any
surface defects.

EL
PT
• Putty or paste can be applied to
the freshly primed surface without

N
waiting for the primer to cure.
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• Next, the substrate be coated with a layer of


epoxy to impregnate the dry fibers and to
maintain those in their intended orientation.

EL
• Typically applied with a medium-tap roller.

PT
• The saturant epoxy may be coloured.

N
• Now, the CFRP sheets be cut as per
required shape and size prior to installation.
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd….)

• Now, the FRP sheet be placed on the


concrete substrate pressing gently into the
saturant, the surface be treated two or

EL
three times with roller to remove any air
bubbles.

PT
N
• After removing the backing paper, a ribbed
roller be rolled in the direction of fibre to
facilitate impregnation by separating the
fibers.
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• To allow absorption of the first


saturant coat, 30 minutes time be

EL
allowed after rolling the sheet,
then a medium-tap roller be used

PT
to apply a second coat of saturant.

N
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• Now, it takes about one week to complete curing of epoxy resin at 20 deg C and
about two weeks at 10 deg C.

EL
PT
N
APPLICATION PROCESS (Contd…..)

• Finally, urethane or fluorine


based paint, two or three coats
be applied.

• The mimic color of concrete offer

environmental exposures, and
fire.

What is Seismic Strengthening?

Strengthening is the modification of structure (damaged or


undamaged) with the purpose of increasing its load carrying
capacity or stability with respect to its previous state.

EL
The main purpose of the seismic strengthening is to upgrade

PT
the seismic resistance of a distressed building while repairing

N
so that it becomes safer under future earthquake occurrences.
