BhorTensor® rods are engineered to offer exceptional tensile modulus and tensile strength, making them ideal for advanced structural reinforcement applications. These pultruded Carbon Fiber/Epoxy composite profiles are designed to enhance the strength and durability of existing concrete structures by being bonded to substrates using high-performance epoxy adhesives.
BhorTensor® CFRP rods are specifically engineered for strengthening concrete, masonry, and timber structures, utilizing the Near-Surface Mounted (NSM) technique. The rods are inserted into grooves that are pre-cut into the substrate, where they are securely bonded with an epoxy resin, ensuring optimal load transfer and structural reinforcement. This bonding technique enables enhanced performance in both shear and flexural strengthening applications.
BhorTensor® carbon fiber rods offer a range of advantages over traditional steel reinforcement, including superior resistance to corrosion, reduced weight, and enhanced durability. These properties make CFRP rods particularly suitable for environments subject to aggressive conditions, such as coastal or chemically active environments, where traditional reinforcement materials may fail over time.
With their exceptional mechanical properties and resistance to environmental degradation, BhorTensor® CFRP rods provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for the long-term reinforcement of critical infrastructure, significantly improving load-bearing capacity, fatigue resistance, and the overall lifespan of reinforced structural elements.
The BhorTensor® series consists of pre-cured pultruded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) profiles, meticulously developed to adhere to the most rigorous standards for repair, rehabilitation, and retrofitting of civil infrastructure. These profiles are fabricated using the pultrusion process, which integrates high-strength carbon fibers with a thermoset epoxy resin matrix, resulting in a composite material with superior mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance.
Key Benefits of BhorTensor® CFRP Rods:
1)Â Easy Transport & Installation: Lightweight design for efficient handling and quick installation.
2) High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:Superior strength and stiffness with minimal weight.
3) Cost-Effective: Affordable reinforcement solution with low maintenance costs.
4)Corrosion Resistance: Excellent protection against environmental degradation.
