Four high strength carbon fibre plates were installed using a combination of the popular 120mm and 80mm wide weber.tec force carbon plate, grade 200 kN/mm2 modulus and weber.tec EP structural adhesive. These were applied by the specialist contractor to the soffit of the pre-cast terrace beams.
The carbon fibre plate was applied after installing temporary propping to jack the terrace units off the beam and then preparing the surface by grit blasting. The carbon fibre plate was delivered to the specialist contractor in cut lengths ready for installation. The terrace units were then lowered back down onto the beam once the epoxy resin adhesive had fully cured.
