Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a highly technical material that is not only in great demand in almost all areas of mobility and sports equipment. The extreme tensile strength of CFRP composite elements also provides a fundamental benefit in the construction sector for technically highly demanding applications. If the stability of a bridge structure is no longer guaranteed due to overloading or damage mechanisms, reinforcement measures are required. These include the use of CFRP lamellas, which are bonded to the reinforced concrete surface using suitable adhesive systems, taking into account the technical guidelines and normative requirements of the respective country. While the load on a bridge is constantly increasing, its service life can be considerably extended by using CFRP slats. Stronger for longer – that too is sustainability. Especially if a material, labor and time-intensive new reinforced concrete construction is avoided for many years to come.
