When an existing structure requires additional load-bearing capacity—due to a change of function, increased load, or established damage—complete demolition or reconstruction is not always necessary. Using bonded reinforcement, Sanacon effectively strengthens floors, beams, and other load-bearing elements with minimal impact on the existing structure. A proven technique, scientifically substantiated and applied in accordance with applicable standards.
Bonded reinforcement is a reinforcement technique in which strips or plates—usually made of carbon fiber (CFRP) or steel—are applied to the surface of an existing structure using a high-performance structural adhesive. This additional reinforcement increases the bending or shear capacity of the element without the need for extensive cutting or the casting of new reinforcement. It is a particularly suitable solution for existing concrete structures where rapid, minimally invasive, and aesthetically discreet reinforcement is desired.
Bonded reinforcement is a suitable solution in the following situations:
