Sika CarboDur Plates
Construction
Description
Sika CarboDur plates are pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)
laminates designed for strengthening concrete, timber and masonry structures.
Sika Carbodur plates are bonded onto the structure as external reinforcement using
Sikadur 30 epoxy resin

Notes on Design
General remarks
Sika CarboDur-laminate has no plastic deformation reserve.
Therefore the maximum bending resistance of a strengthened section is reached
when laminated failure occurs during steel yield and before concrete failure. The
mode of failure is influenced by the laminate cross-section. To limit crack widths
and deformation the yield point should not be reached in the reinforcing bars under
service conditions.
Any shear cracks which occur must be prevented from causing displacement on
the strengthened surface and shearing of the laminate. Stress and deformation
calculations can be made by the normal methods. They should be verified in
accordance with standards SIA 160 (1989) and 162 (1989).
Procedure for assessing the condition of the structure
Dimension (geometry, reinforcement, evenness of surface to be strengthened),
quality of existing construction materials, ambient climatic conditions, agreed
conditions of service.
Verification
Bearing safety :
Non strengthened structure (with allowance for a reduced total safety factor =
1.0)
Strengthened structure (with the mode of failure described above, check on the
strains)
Shearing of laminate
Anchorages
Fatigue resistance :
Check on concrete and steel stresses
Serviceability :
Deformation (with average strains, assuming elastic behaviour of the structure
and time based strain changes in the concrete)
Steel stressed (no plastic deformation in service conditions).
Crack widths (by limiting the steel stresses in service conditions)

Substrate Preparation
Concrete :
Substrate must be sound, dry, clean and free from laitance, ice, standing water,
grease, oils, old surface treatments or coatings and all loosely adhering particles.
Concrete must be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminants
free, open textured surface.
Preparation: Blast-clean, scabble or grind.
If there are large blowholes on the concrete surface, these must first be filled with
structural repair material such as Sikadur 741 repair mortar. The Sikadur-30
adhesive must be used as a bonding layer to ensure a good bond with the
concrete substrate.
Timber :
Clean, free from grease and oil, no loose particles.
Preparation: Planing, grinding or sanding. Dust must be removed by vacuum
Plate preparation :
Immediately prior to the application of Sikadur 30, solvent wipe the bonding
surface with Sika Colma Cleaner to remove contaminants. Wait until the surface is
dry before applying the adhesive.
Application
Instructions
Mixing
Application
Place the Sika Carbodur plate on a table and clean the unlabelled side with Colma
Cleaner using a white rag. Apply the well-mixed Sikadur 30 adhesive with a special
dome shaped spatula onto the cleaned Carbodur laminate. Apply the Sikadur 30
adhesive carefully to the properly cleaned and prepared substrate, with a spatula
to form a thin layer.
Within the open time of the adhesive, place the Sikadur 30 coated Sika Carbodur
plate onto the Sikadur 30 coated concrete surface. Using a Sika rubber roller,
press the plate into the adhesive until the material is forced out on both sides of
the laminate. Remove surplus adhesive.
Intersection / multiple layers
Where there are to be plate intersections or crossovers, the first Sika Carbodur
plate should be degreased with Sika Colma Cleaner before overlaying with
adhesive and the second plate applied.
Cleaning
Clean tools immediately with Colma Cleaner. Wash hand and skin thoroughly in
warm soap water. Before curing Sikadur-30 components A+B are a water pollutant
and should not be discharged into drains, waterways or soil.
Colma Cleaner and Sikadur-30 residues must always be disposed of properly.
Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
