Structures often require strengthening due to changing functions, increased loads, or updated building standards. Historical buildings may also need reinforcement without altering their design. Sika offers proven systems for enhancing bending, shear, and seismic resistance in concrete, steel, wood, and masonry structures, ensuring long-term durability.

Structural Strengthening Products and Systems
Structural Strengthening Methods
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Plates
- Prefabricated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Plates
For strengthening of concrete substrates, prefabricated CFRP plates can be externally bonded or near surface-mounted. Sika offers a wide range of carbon FRP plates in different dimensions and varying E-moduli.
- L-shape Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Plates
Shear capacity of concrete beams can be increased by externally applying CFRP strengthening systems. Sika provides unique L-shape CFRP plates for effective anchorage of stirrup forces in concrete compressive zones.
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Post-tensioning Systems
Post-tensioned systems are effective for control of structural cracks and deflections and to increase fatigue resistance and seismic resistance. Sika provides a unique system based on post-tensioned CFRP plates.
