System Description

FRCM reinforcement system for concrete

A cement-based inorganic fiber matrix designed to work specifically with PBO-MESH 1 on concrete structures. It ensures effective stress transfer from the structural element to the reinforcement mesh.

PBO - MESH 1

Unidirectional mesh made with 105 g/m² PBO fiber, featuring thermoplastic glass fibers woven across the transverse direction of the PBO.

– 10 cm height, 30-meter roll
– 25 cm height, 15-meter roll

MX-PBO Concrete
  • Enhancement of both static and seismic performance in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings

  • Upgrading the structural behavior of RC infrastructures under static and seismic loads

  • Flexural strengthening of beams and joists in RC floor systems

  • Combined compressive and flexural reinforcement of concrete columns

  • Shear strengthening of beams, columns, joints, and RC shear walls

  • Confinement reinforcement for RC columns

  • Increasing the ductility and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete components

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

(Best for large structural elements that need high reinforcement)
