Consolidation of a railway overpass with FRP carbon fiber

In order to improve the mechanical characteristics of the reinforced concrete structure Constituting an important railway overpass in the province of Milan, structural reinforcement of beams, pillars and reinforced concrete nodes were carried out. With carbon fiber fabrics from the Olympus FRP line. In particular, the reinforcement of beams and pillars was made through the use of 600 g/m2 carbon fiber uniaxial fabrics OLY TEX CARBO 600 UNI AX HR while the reinforcement of the nodes was achieved by applying quadriaxial tissues in carbon fiber OLY TEX CARBO 380 AX HR PICTURES. The applied systems are both CVT certified.
