- Retrofitting/Structural Improvement of columns using Carbon Fiber Sheet (CFS) for strengthening the concrete structures externally, It is used as an external reinforcement for columns. It consists of carbon and glass fabrics that are impregnated with the quality resins to form laminate that is externally bonded to the element to be strengthened. This strengthening method reduces the need for extra anchoring works and installation, which is very time consuming and costly. Carbon Fiber Sheet (CFS) composite material to add strength, last longer and ductility to the building.
