High Rise
Structural Repair
Cold joint cracks in a high-rise building were repaired with epoxy injection and carbon fiber reinforcement, strengthening the structure while keeping the project on schedule and budget.
View PDFThe Problem
On a newly constructed high rise in Nashville, engineers identified concerns with cold joints and cracking at the top of an exterior wall. These weaknesses raised structural concerns about the integrity of the wall connection..
Additional cracking was also found in the rooftop pool, further indicating the need for a reliable repair method to prevent future structural issues.
⚠ Cold joints and cracks in a new structure required immediate reinforcement to ensure long term structural integrity.
The Solution
Engineers repaired the cracks by first injecting them with structural epoxy resin, then applying 560 GSM, 12 inch wide bidirectional Rhino Carbon Fiber CFRP with saturant adhesive epoxy to reinforce the area.
The same method was used for cracks in the rooftop pool. This approach strengthened the structure quickly and effectively, allowing the project to stay on schedule and within budget.
