:KIPS) announced today that its carbon overlay system is being used by a major telecommunications company See telecom company.  for the seismic retrofit of shear walls and columns in a key switching complex.

The overlay is a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP CFRP Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic

) sheet which is applied like "wallpaper" to increase the ductility ductility, ability of a metal to plastically deform without breaking or fracturing, with the cohesion between the molecules remaining sufficient to hold them together (see adhesion and cohesion). Ductility is important in wire drawing and sheet stamping.  and/or strength of structural elements Structural elements are used in structural analysis to simplify the structure which is to be analysed.

Structural elements can be linear, surfaces or volumes.

Linear elements:
  • Rod - axial loads
  • Beam - axial and bending loads
 such as columns, beams, walls and floors. The CFRP technology, which was developed for the defense industry beginning in the 1960s, offers the advantage of affordability and ease of installation.

CSI (www.CompositeSolutionsInc.com) provides innovative solutions for seismic, blast and upgrade retrofits of buildings, bridges and other structures using advanced composite overlay materials. CSI also furnishes unique composite-based technologies for infrastructure renewal and new construction.
