PBO-JOINT
PBO connector to anchor FRCM systems on
concrete and masonry elements
Pbo-Joint is a unidirectional PBO fiber connection system for the anchoring of the existing structures and the PBO FRCM structural strengthening systems. The connection must be made on site and consists of a bundle of long unidirectional PBO fibers held together in a special mesh which gives the bundle a cylindrical shape.

COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM:
PBO-JOINT
Connection element made of PBO
fiber, Ø 3 and 6 mm, 10 m long.
MX-JOINT
Stabilized inorganic matrix for the
application PBO-JOINT.
PROPERTIES OF THE SYSTEM
- Increases the capacity of the PBO-FRCM strengthening system to adhere to the existing support.
- Increases the capacity of the PBO-FRCM system to adhere to the existing masonry support when it is applied to one face only.
- Application of the face-to-face PBO fibre connector increases adhesion capacity to the masonry support in multi-leaf and/or rubble-core masonry.
- Increased adhesion capacity of the PBO FRCM system to the concrete support when shear strengthening is applied to reinforced concrete beams.
- Increased adhesion capacity of the PBO FRCM system to the concrete support when strengthening is applied to reinforced concrete walls.
- Continuous force transfer to the structure is created by the PBO-FRCM strengthening system when it is applied to strengthening against combined axial and flexural forces in reinforced concrete columns.
- Creation of constraints when the PBO fibre connector is inserted into masonry and reinforced concrete structures.
- The system can also be applied to damp supports without any need for special protection.
- The fibre bundle is easy to place and handle.
FIELDS OF APPPLICATION
- Adapting and upgrading the static and anti-seismic behaviour of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings.
- Structural strengthening to loadbearing walls (piers) and spandrels of masonry buildings, when the FRCM system is applied to one face only of the wall
- Structural strengthening to loadbearing walls (piers) and spandrels of masonry buildings, when the FRCM system is applied to multiple-leaf and/or rubble core masonry.
- Structural strengthening to masonry corners and horizontal bandaging at floor levels.
- Structural strengthening to eaves ring beams in masonry walls.
- Structural strengthening to masonry arches, vaults, and domes.
- Structural strengthening to infrastructure works built from masonry.
- Shear strengthening to reinforced concrete beams.
- Strengthening to resist combined axial and flexural forces in reinforced concrete columns.
- Structural strengthening to infrastructure works in reinforced concrete.
- Anti-overturn systems for internal partitions and external walls.
