Application of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials in Construction

People's living standard has been greatly improved with the rapid development of social economy, and the reform in the field of construction engineering is also under way. The continuous improvement of the modernization degree and the diversification of functions of the building determine that the difficulty factor of construction technology is increasing. The traditional construction materials and technology is no longer able to meet the technical and functional requirements of buildings.

Types of carbon fiber composite materials

The main purpose of adopting carbon fiber composite materials in the field of building engineering is to improve the stability of the building structure, so as to enhance the carrying capacity of the construction project and improve its use function. At present, the widely used carbon fiber composite materials mainly include carbon fiber cloth, carbon fiber plate, carbon fiber strip and carbon fiber grid.

Application of carbon fiber composite materials

Carbon fiber composite materials can be selected according to different reinforcement positions, different reinforcement methods and different required functions in the process of being used to strengthen and improve the carrying capacity and service function of construction engineering structures. For example, construction companies often choose the high-strength carbon fiber cloth when they want to improve the carrying capacity of buildings; they will choose carbon fiber panels when they want to improve the rigidity of buildings; carbon fiber strips are often used in embedded construction.

In the construction of new construction projects, carbon fiber bars, cables, profiles and the resulting construction of carbon fiber composites are often selected due to different requirements. Carbon fiber reinforcement can effectively improve the stability of the structure and extend the service life of the structure by replacing the steel bars, ensuring that the damage risk of the steel structure is reduced when there is a large corrosion risk in the use environment. Applying it to those parts of concrete where the reinforcement is relatively dense can reduce the use of reinforcement, save cost and simplify the construction operation process. The main direction of application of carbon fiber cable is the suspension cable or anchor cable in the construction of long span structure, and the application of carbon fiber cable can not only reduce the self-weight of the structure, but also play a role of high tensile strength.
