Sika® CarboDur® S NSM

Pultruded carbon fibre plate for near-surface-mounted (NSM) structural strengthening

Sika® CarboDur® S NSM is a pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) flat plate. It is primarily designed for near-surface-mounted (NSM) structural strengthening of concrete, timber, and masonry. The plate is bonded and fully encapsulated into surface slots using a Sika® structural adhesive which is selected based on the design, application and environmental conditions. The plate is part of the Sika CarboDur® system.

  • Very cost effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques
  • Fast application increases productivity, saves time and reduces disruption
  • Improves the service life of a structure
  • Non-corroding
  • Very high strength
  • Invisible when installed
  • Easy transport as a roll
  • Good durability and fatigue resistance
  • Lightweight, very easy to transport and install
  • Easy to cut to the required length
  • Smooth surface without exposed fibres
  • Strengthened surface can be trafficked
  • No surface preparation or levelling of uneven substrates required
  • Improved resistance to fire (compared with externally bonded reinforcement)

Usage

Sika® CarboDur® S NSM is used as a reinforcement plate for near-surface-mounted, bonded structural strengthening systems on concrete, masonry and wooden substrates. Near-surface-mounted, bonded structural strengthening systems are used for:
  • Increasing the flexural loading capacity of elements and structures
  • Enhancing the load-carrying capacity or ductility of structural members
  • Replacing missing steel reinforcement
  • Structural upgrading of weak concrete elements or structures
  • Improving impact resistance
  • Passive strengthening for seismic event protection
  • Changing the structural system (removal of floor or wall sections)
  • Improving fatigue resistance
  • Reducing the stress on steel reinforcement
  • Repairing structural elements after damage (vehicle impact, fire, earthquake)
  • Stabilising vibrating structures
  • Dowelling structural connections  
Please note:
  • A specialist structural engineer must be consulted for any structural strengthening design calculation.
  • The Product may only be used by experienced professionals.
