The Arrowtex Fiber Wrap System consist of unidirectional weaved carbon fibres fabric and glass fibers fabric for structural strengthening. These sheets are laminated onto the structural surface to absorb tensile forces.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP / German: CFK) has become a global fixture in civil engineering. Carbon Fiber is a PAN-based high performance material with its super strength at remarkably low weight.

AVIGNA INDIA does strengthening works using following materials:

• Carbon fiber
• Fiberglass
• Basalt fiber
• Aramid fiber (Kevlar)

Application Range:

1. Load increase as a result of

• Increase in loads in commercial buildings
• Increase in traffic weight and volume on bridges.
• Installation of heavy equipment in industrial facilities.
• Increase in vibration in struction
• Change in building function.

2. Improve structural conditions

• reduce deformation
• reduce stresses In existing structural elements.
• limit or arrest crack propagation

3. Seismic Retrofitting

• Columns wrapping reinforcement for improving ductility and shear strength.
• Masonry walls reinforcement for improving out-of-plane bending and in-plane shear strengths.
• Beam and slab reinforcement.

4. Change Structural System (Structural Alterations)

• change the location of wall and/or column.
• Cut-out floor slab opening.

5. Aged and Damaged Structures.

• Aging of old deteriorated construction materials.
• Corrosion of steel bars in concrete.

6. Structural deficiencies due to design or construction errors.

• Lack of adequate well-detailed reinforcing bars
• Inadequate member cross section.
• Substandard concrete strength.

System advantages

• Flexible – easy handling even at curved areas
• Removable protective fabric on both sides for clean contact surfaces and perfect results
• Larger force transmission area for weak substrates
• May be overcoated with surface protection systems and mortar systems

Area Of Applications:

• Public Structures.
• Private Structures.
• Industrial Structures
• Transport Infrastructure
• Marine Structures.
• Marine Structures.
