Why can carbon fiber cloth be earthquake-resistant?

Dec. 18, 2017

As we all know, carbon fiber cloth has the function of seismic reinforcement, which is the current international mainstream seismic strengthening materials. But do you know why carbon fiber cloth can be earthquake-resistant reinforcement?

When we eat food which is in the plastic bags, there will be a small gap on its side. We can easily tear the bag from this side. Because concrete is a brittle material. If there is a crack in the concrete wall, it is easy to crack the whole wall or the floor. Therefore, once a little crack occurs during the earthquake, it is fatal to the whole building.

 

So in the seismic reinforcement, we will use the carbon fiber cloth. Carbon fiber cloth has a large number of carbon fiber bundles in the internal.

 

Carbon fiber is a malleable material. If there is an earthquake, hard steel or concrete will be destroyed. But there are carbon fiber cloths adhering to the wall. The wall will not be broken directly but will be linked by the carbon fiber. The entire structure is connected as a whole to absorb the power of earthquake release. Even if the deformation is large, the floor or wall will not collapse or fall directly. This will win time for people to survive.

 

The carbon fiber cloth has many excellent properties. The self weight is very low, which significantly reduces the load and saves the materials. And it has superior corrosion resistance. Its durability is far beyond the level of steel structure, which is a rare earthquake-resistant reinforcement  material. It can greatly enhance the safety of buildings and save substantial cost.
