FRCM Applications

Significant flexural, axial or shear strength gains can be realized with an easy-to-apply composite that does not add significant weight or mass to the structure. FRCM provides a low-impact, low-weight alternative to traditional concrete strengthening and retrofit methods. Many times, it is the most economical strengthening solution available, given its reduced preparation installation time.

• Projects that also require a surface repair and leveling in addition to strengthening
• Projects with large, overhead, and vertical surface areas where higher production rates are possible with shotcrete material
• Repair applications that cannot afford significant member enlargement
• Composite strengthening applications that require an increased level of abrasion and fire resistance

Structures

• Tunnels, pipes and mines
• Tanks, silos and chimneys
• Parking garages
• Bridges, piers and wharfs
• Commercial and industrial buildings

Seismic Retrofit

• Shear strengthening
• Displacement/ductility
• Life safety

Load Rating Upgrade

• Increased live loads
• Accommodating new equipment
• Change of use

Damage Repair

• Deterioration/corrosion
• Blast/vehicle impact

Defect Remediation

• Size/layout errors
• Low concrete strengths

Blast Mitigation

• Progressive collapse
