Sika® CarboDur® S NSM

Pultruded carbon fibre plate for near surface mounted (NSM) structural strengthening

Sika® CarboDur® S NSM is a pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) flat plate. It is primarily designed for near surface mounted (NSM) structural strengthening of concrete, timber and masonry. The plate is bonded and fully encapsulated into surface slots using a Sika structural adhesive which is selected based on the design, application and environmental conditions. The plate is part of the Sika CarboDur® system.

  • Non-corroding
  • Very high strength
  • Invisible when installed
  • Nearly unlimited lengths, no joints required
  • Easy transportation (rolls)
  • Good durability and fatigue resistance
  • Lightweight, very easy to transport and install
  • Easy to cut to the required length
  • Smooth surface without exposed fibres
  • Strengthened surface can be trafficked
  • No surface preparation / levelling of uneven substrates required
  • Improved resistance to fire (compared with externally bonded reinforcement)
  • Global test reports and approvals available

Usage

Sika® CarboDur® S NSM rods are used to improve or increase the structural performance of structures for:
Increased load carrying capacity:
  • Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections
  • For the installation of heavy equipment
  • To stabilise vibrating structures
  • For changes of building use
Damage to structural elements due to:
  • Deterioration of the original construction materials
  • Steel reinforcement corrosion
  • Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)
Improvement of serviceability and durability:
  • Reduced deflection and crack width
  • Stress reduction of the steel reinforcement
  • Improved fatigue resistance
Change of the structural support system:
  • Removal of walls and / or columns
  • Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openings
Increased resistance to:
  • Earthquakes
  • Impact
  • Explosions
To repair design or construction defects such as:
  • Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
  • Insufficient / inadequate structural depth
