FRP strengthening with epoxy resins

FRP strengthening systems are based on the union of long fibres having high mechanical strength and a matrix, which acts as an adhesive between the fibres and the substrate, so that stress is transferred from the structure to the fibres.

The fibres used for structural strengthening, such as carbon, have high Young’s modulus of elasticity and high tensile strength.

Thanks to the exceptional mechanical properties of the structural fibres, this technology makes it possible to carry out strengthening work using an extremely versatile solution, which combines practicality, limited space requirement, speed of execution, and cost-effectiveness with respect to traditional techniques.

Compared to traditional techniques, the lightness of FRP systems means they are well suited for use on particularly weak or unstable structures, since they respect the architectural character of the building and the functionality of the structural elements, while not significantly increasing the loads exerted on the structure.

Lastly, the ease of installation and their significant capacity to adapt to the various shapes of structural elements mean this material is also widely used in the construction sector.
