At fischer we are excited to announce our latest venture into the field of Structural Retrofitting. As buildings age and infrastructure demands evolve, the need for robust and reliable retrofitting solutions has never been more critical. Our commitment to innovation and excellence drives us to provide top-tier products that ensure the longevity and safety of engineering structures.
We are proud to launch two new portfolios designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients and help elongate the life of existing buildings and structures with the same, or even advanced properties.
fischer already offers established solutions for Structural Strengthening with post-installed rebar as well as concrete overlay products, and we are happy to now introduce our new C-Fiber Force Strengthening System which perfectly complements these existing products and our know-how in fixing and strengthening. We are the first company offering solutions with carbon fiber based strengthening methods, solutions with concrete overlay and post-installed rebars.
Our structural strengthening solutions are engineered to enhance the load-bearing capacity of existing structures. Whether it’s bridges, buildings, or industrial facilities, our products are designed to provide superior performance and durability.
High Strength Materials: Utilizing advanced carbon fibre composites and high-strength chemicals to reinforce structural elements.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring enhanced performance across various structural elements.
Ease of Application: Designed for efficient installation, minimizing downtime and disruption.
Included in the C-Fiber Force Structural Strengthening assortment are 13 different products, starting with Carbon Fibre based reinforcing materials such as CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers) laminates, Carbon Fibre wrap as well as Carbon Fibre Spike Anchors, all with different available geometries to fit all needs, as well as a range of accompanying chemical components for the safe and easy installation.
The assortment components present state-of-the-art strengthening solutions and are certified according to different international standards such as the first ETA (European Technical Assessment ETA-24/0281) on the market that includes both Externally Bonded (EB) and Near Surface Mounted (NSM) CFRP Laminates to perfectly work together in a system. Furthermore, the CFRP Laminates and CF Fabrics are also regulated by an ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR-4774).
Going along with the C-Fiber Force product assortment is the launch of the REINFORCE-FIX software. The software is available now in the online FiXperience suite.
The first module includes calculations for flexural and shear strengthening according to ACI PRC-440.2-23 with carbon fibre laminates as well as carbon fibre fabrics. A full-transparent printout is included for a comprehensive understanding.
The next update will also include the calculation of carbon fibre laminates according to the German DafStb guidelines.
