How Ikoyi 21 Storey Building Could Have Been Saved By Carbon Wrapping by ProjSynergies: 6:59pm On Nov 07, 2021
In the last few decades, there have been few cases of progressive collapse of buildings that were initiated by local failure. Recently design to prevent the progressive collapse of buildings has been engaged in the civil engineering community. Project Synergies presents a new approach (carbon wrapping) to prevent the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete buildings resulted from the potential failure of a column. With this approach, pillars and columns are wrapped with carbon synthetic fabrics, the pillars and columns are coated with adhesive base for reception of the carbon fiber wrap.
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can provide continuity in reinforced concrete beams and thereby reduce the likelihood of progressive collapse if a supporting column were lost due to extreme loading (blast or impact). Seven half-scale specimens representing two spans of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame with a center supporting column removed were tested The capacity of vulnerable RC building beams with discontinuous reinforcing steel were evaluated and compared with beams using CFRP to provide continuity, and with beams designed with continuous reinforcing steel. It was found that CFRP is capable of providing sufficient continuity to withstand the loss of a supporting column through either catenary (or cable) action, which reduces material usage, or flexural action, which reduces deflections. Furthermore, beams with continuous reinforcement may not be able to withstand the loss of a center-supporting column due to limited rotational ductility of the beam.
The process strengthen the pillars and columns several times more that its
CFRP braced frame is efficient in absorbing the loss of a first floor column and preventing progressive collapse of the building.

It is well

Oga,....your product cannot prevent the collapse of a substandard building,...it's like using stick to support a falling tower,....don't mislead people so your marketing won't lead to more cases of building collapse.
