MBrace Laminate 460/1500
MBrace 460/1500 is an ultra high modulus laminate and is a ready to use pultruded carbon laminate that provides a high tensile strength and is indicated for flexural reinforcement (plate bonding) of metallic structures with MBrace FRP Laminate system.
MBrace 460/1500 is recommended to reinforce cast iron, steel and wrought iron elements in structures including bridges, buildings, marine structures, car parks, chimneys, silos etc in order to:
- increase the load-bearing capacity (e.g. structural conversion following a change in capacity load)
- accomodate heavy machinery and/or vibration
- support change of use
- provide blast or seismic resistance
- restore strength to structures damaged by impact, fire or decay
- improve serviceability with reduced deflection, stress and fatigue
- allow structural alteration
- remedy design or construction defects
