System description
Together with the MX-JOINT inorganic matrix, the PBO-JOINT connection system interconnects existing masonry and reinforced concrete by means of FRCM PBO-based structural strengthening systems.
The fibre connector is prepared on site and consists of a bundle of continuous parallel fibres or strands bound within a tubular elastic net made of polyester, polyamide and latex fibres. The mesh can be extended both longitudinally and transversely, and may also be removed. The bundled fibres become rigid when impregnated with the appropriate MX-JOINT inorganic matrix and inserted into a specially made hole in the masonry and/or reinforced concrete structural element.
