Come in both unidirectional and bidirectional carbon fiber weaves to address a wide variety of applications.
A “must have” for foundation repair and waterproofing professionals.
Before

Please note that Unidirectional Carbon Fiber is not appropriate for repairs that require high anisotropic strength (strength in all directions); Rhino Carbon Fiber CFRP (Bidirectional) is better suited for these repairs. If concrete is cracked around a window frame, a bidirectional weave works best for the repair since it provides strength in all directions. A unidirectional weaves works best for repairs that require strength in one direction.
We can be general in saying these can be used for crack repair and structural strengthening:
Use a bidirectional weave on any crack or element requiring additional strengthening in all directions
Use a horizontal weave on a vertical crack or element requiring strengthening in one direction
Use a vertical weave on a horizontal crack or element requiring strengthening in one direction
Carbon fiber can also be layered for additional strength. Widths are chosen based on the size of the crack, area being strengthened and/or strengthening requirements; 24-inch wide carbon fiber is a great choice for large concrete surfaces since it will require less labor than the 12-inch option. This information is only a recommendation and any structural assessments or repair questions should be directed to a structural engineer.
Rhino Carbon Fiber is an industry leader in concrete crack repair and structural strengthening, providing strong, efficient and easy-to-use products! Rhino Carbon Fiber continues to innovate, creating cost and labor-effective concrete repair and strengthening solutions for residential and commercial applications.
