With their excellent mechanical properties and low specific weight (one quarter of steel), fiberglass composite profiles can be used to build structures with high load bearing capacity and low weight, thus lessening foundation loads.
Composite profiles offer clear advantages over their metal counterparts in designing structures located on terraces, on floors with limited load bearing capacity, or in spaces offering limited access to lifting equipment.
The high strength, low weight, and durability of these materials, especially those reinforced with carbon fibers, make them ideal for retrofitting reinforced concrete or wooden structures. They are commonly used to reinforce roadway pillars, floor beams, or columns made of reinforced concrete or other materials. |
