PBO-MESH 105
Unidirectional 105 g/m² PBO mesh for FRCM strengthening system with inorganic matrix
Pbo-Mesh 105 is a FRCM structural strengthening system with a unidirectional PBO mesh and stabilized inorganic matrix for reinforced concrete constructions. The high weight of PBO makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications, especially on concrete and in compact sections such as slab joists. This strengthening system does not use epoxy resins and its performance equals that of traditional FRP with carbon fibers and epoxy binder.

PROPERTIES OF THE SYSTEM
- Increasing the flexural strength capacity of reinforced concrete beams.
- Increasing the flexural strength capacity of the joists in clay/concrete composite slabs.
- Increasing the strength capacity against combined axial and flexural forces in reinforced concrete columns.
- Increasing the strength capacity against shear of structural elements such as beams, joists in clay/concrete composite slabs, columns, and beam/column nodes.
- Increasing the strength capacity and ductility of non-confined reinforced concrete nodes.
- Increasing the strength capacity of the extremities of reinforced concrete columns.
- High system reliability thanks to post-cracking behaviour in detachment conditions.
- High system ductility and energy dissipation capacity.
- The system is also resistant to high temperatures and to freeze-thaw cycles.
- The inorganic matrix has very good adhesion to the concrete support.
- Simple and reliable placement of the inorganic matrix, which is laid in the same way as a traditional premixed bagged cement mortar.
- The system can also be applied to damp supports without any need for special protection.
- The mesh is easy to place and handle.
