CFRPvscarbon fiber

Described as the `wonder material of the century`, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is favoured by concrete repairs and strengthening specialists all over. The popularity of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer raised in 2016 and has been that way since – and we can see why! Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer is almost 3-4 times stronger and enormously lighter than steel, at an average weight of 600g/m2 and approximately 1mm thick carbon fibre strengthening systems get the job done quickly, easily, and oftentimes more effectively in comparison to materials with similar applications. We could talk about the pros all day – but what about the cons?

Often, the best way to comprehend a specialist service is by seeing it in action and the difference the project has made. We’ve handpicked some of our recent CFRPs projects for you below!

To learn more about the aforementioned methods of structural strengthening and to compare them with the use of carbon fibre-reinforced polymers, call our expert team on 01482 425250 or fill in our online form today. We look forward to hearing from you!

Working on behalf of some large contractors and very closely with Wolverhampton Council, CCUK has designed Carbon Fibre Strengthening solutions to enable the refurbishment of the HRRB’s for electrical, mechanical and sprinkler installation. 5-week project.

“Precious” metals are rare, naturally-occurring elemental metals that have a high economic value. Throughout history, they were used as currency. Even today, there are still sold and traded as investments, as well as, among private buyers and sellers.

CCUK worked with the main contractor on site to provide a solution for concrete repairs and the application of CFRP plates. The concrete repairs were done according to material and application specifications provided by the Highways Agency, mostly overnight while traffic was sparse!

Noble metals are a grouping of metals that resist oxidation and corrosion in moist or humid air. Common examples in order of increasing atomic number include ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold. However, there are multiple “lists” for noble metals, as some contain mercury while other may include rhenium. Some lists include gold, silver, and copper, but leave out all others.

Common examples include gold, platinum, silver, zirconium, palladium, mercury, bismuth, beryllium, germanium, rhodium, cobalt, tungsten, iridium, and osmium. They are often used in jewelry and other ornamental décor since they are extremely corrosion-resistant and acid attack resistant. They are also used for investment purposes, currency, electronics, radiation shielding, thermal insulation, and more.

Here are just some of the methods our industry uses to strengthen reinforced concrete structures and buildings, exemplifying CFRPs. These methods are known as retrofit techniques and there are 6-7 in total, although there is usually a choice of 2-3 [1] once a survey of the building or structure has been completed and feasibility determined. For example, using a method to strengthen certain aspects of the structure could put unnecessary stress on another area, and so on.

Interestingly enough, not all metals that are resistant to corrosion and acid attacks are considered “noble.” For instance, titanium, niobium, and tantalum are all highly resistant to corrosion, yet they are not categorized as noble metals. Although chemists permit a relaxed definition of noble metals, physicists offer a more restrictive definition. According to the science of physics, noble metals are those that have filled electronic d-bands. If you adhere to this definition, only gold, silver and copper are considered noble.

Most people are familiar with precious metals, especially those who love jewelry or collect coins. However, many people have never heard the term, “noble” metals, which happen to be quite similar, but stand out as their own category of metal. Some people often confuse these two categories since most noble metals are also precious ones.

During the standard refurbishment, we discovered the soffit panels to be severely damaged. Concrete panels that formed the construction of the floor slabs had suffered some deterioration and damage over the years. 8-week project.

If you have old jewelry, catalytic converters, coin collections, or other versions of valuable metal, you can sell these items to a scrap metal buyer and get paid cash on the spot. Gold, silver, and platinum are currently doing well in the scrap metal market, so take advantage of the current economy and sell your precious metal commodities while their value is still exponential.

Precious metals are rare, naturally-occurring elemental metals with high economic value. Throughout history, they were used as currency. Even today, there are still sold and traded as investments, as well as, among private buyers and sellers. Examples include gold, silver, platinum, tungsten, zirconium, cobalt, palladium, rhodium, osmium, and iridium.

As mentioned, a base metal is any common metal that cannot be categorized as noble or precious. Silver may be an exception to this rule, as it is sometimes used as a base metal for gold and platinum coatings. Furthermore, they are generally the most readily available and inexpensive metals. Base metals are also more prone to corrosion, oxidation, and tarnishing. Examples of base metals include lead, copper, tin, aluminum, and zinc. Brass and bronze are alloys of these metals, making them base metals as well.

A more appropriate question, perhaps, is “what did we do before CFRPs?”. The technological advancements that have come along with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer materials mean we no longer *need* to depend on alternative strengthening/seismic upgrading methods. Although, that’s not to say all concrete construction experts use CFRPs (or, at least, they don’t yet!), and let’s be clear – there are still pros to using all types of seismic upgrading and it is usually down to the knowledge and experience of your contractor to suggest the `correct` one.

Another interesting fact about the properties of base metals is that they produce hydrogen gas when diluted with hydrochloric acid. This practice is primarily used for galvanizing applications.

Base metals have a second definition as being the primary metallic element in an alloy. For instance, the base metal of bronze is copper. Similarly, the term base metal can take on the definition as the metal core underlying a coating. For example, steel may be the base metal of galvanized steel. And as mentioned, silver is sometimes coated in gold or rhodium, making it the base metal of those commodities.
