We spent two full days, 25-26 March, at the Nordbygg 2010 fair with the aim of investigating the strengthening potential within all materials such as steel, concrete, and timber. This resulted in very interesting meetings with Martinsons Byggsystem, SETRA, and STO (StoCretec), where future collaboration could exist. As an add-on the fair included a lot of power tools, enabling practical exercises, otherwise a very seldom occurring event at the engineering education.

Proof-of-concept completed with spot-on results
Filed under Uncategorized
Our research team has now completed the proof-of-concept with satisfying results. The test included strengthening of 3 glulam with the usage of a single pre-stressed carbon fiber laminate covering 0.3 % of the cross-sectional area. The beams where loaded to failure and an increased in load carrying capacity of 40 % where measured!
