Concrete Crack Repair Using Carbon Fiber
Cracks in your floor? By utilizing the incredible strengthening properties of Glass, Kevlar, and Carbon Composites, we can provide a cost effective solution to your concrete cracks.
Carbon fiber has been used in everything from the Space Shuttle, to Boeing 777 Dreamliners.. These materials have made their way in to mainstream construction and are creating numerous benefits.
Floor Stitching
By utilizing pre-cured carbon fiber stitching systems used to bridge shear forces we can solve cracks in floor slabs. The systems are installed at a fraction of the cost of traditional steel dowels and with less heavy equipment and disruption to the home owner.
Arizona Repair Masons and Arizona Ram Jack have become certified applicators for HJ3 Composites and is the preferred applicator for the Arizona Region. HJ3’s is one of the world leading authorities on the use of these materials in the construction environment.
We cut stitches into your concrete, drop carbon fiber laminates into the cuts and adhere with low viscosity polyurea. This system is stronger, faster and more cost effective than the more traditional embedment of rebar dowels into the concrete.
The following is an illustration of the stitching process.
