Kevlar Construction Products
What is Kevlar?
At Structural Repairs, we are dedicated to providing the most advanced and comprehensive solutions for structural reinforcement and repair.
In addition to our cutting-edge Carbon Fibre products, we offer a range of Kevlar Construction Products that perfectly complement carbon fibre, enhancing the strength, durability, and versatility of our reinforcement systems.
Kevlar is a synthetic aramid fibre developed by DuPont, renowned for its exceptional strength, toughness, and thermal stability. Kevlar fibres are five times stronger than steel by weight and have a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio, making them an ideal material for structural reinforcement applications.
Kevlar Construction Products
Kevlar Reinforced Polymer (KRP) Fabrics: Our KRP fabrics are designed to provide additional tensile strength and confinement to structural elements.
These lightweight, high-strength fabrics can be used in conjunction with carbon fibre wraps to enhance the overall performance of the reinforcement system.
Kevlar Reinforced Polymer (KRP) Ropes: KRP ropes are used for external post-tensioning and cable-stayed applications in structures.
These high-strength, low-stretch ropes can be used alongside carbon fibre tendons to provide additional load-carrying capacity and redundancy.
Kevlar Reinforced Polymer (KRP) Sheets: KRP sheets are used as an intermediate layer between carbon fibre plates and the surface of the structural element.
These tough, impact-resistant sheets help to distribute loads evenly and protect the carbon fibre from damage
Benefits of Combining Kevlar and Carbon Fibre
Enhanced Strength and Toughness: The combination of Kevlar and carbon fibre creates a hybrid reinforcement system that offers exceptional strength and toughness, providing superior resistance to impacts, blasts, and other extreme loading conditions.
Improved Ductility: Kevlar fibres have a higher elongation at break compared to carbon fibres, allowing for increased ductility in the reinforced structure. This can help to prevent brittle failures and improve the overall resilience of the structure.
Versatility: The combination of Kevlar and carbon fibre products allows for greater flexibility in the design of reinforcement systems, enabling our engineers to tailor solutions to the specific requirements of each project.
Cost-Effectiveness: By using Kevlar products in conjunction with carbon fibre, we can optimise the use of materials and reduce overall project costs without compromising on performance.
Our Approach
At Structural Repairs, we follow a rigorous approach to ensure the success of our Kevlar and carbon fibre reinforcement projects:
Assessment: Our experienced engineers will assess the condition of the structure and identify areas requiring reinforcement.
Design: We will develop a customised reinforcement design that optimises the use of Kevlar and carbon fibre products to meet the specific requirements of the project.
Installation: Our skilled technicians will install the Kevlar and carbon fibre products using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, ensuring optimal bonding and performance.
Monitoring: We will monitor the reinforced structure to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the reinforcement system and the overall health of the structure.
