Strengthening of ribbed slabs


Strengthening method:

1- The lower plane of the ribs of monolithic floor slabs in full length and width (can be bent to the side face) is glued with tapes made of FibArm Tape composite horizontally directed. The calculation of the number of layers is based on the data of the load-bearing capacity.

2- The supporting area of the monolithic slab to withstand the shear force is glued with U-clamps made of FibArm Tape (unidirectional composite).

3- There is the possibility of gluing the transverse ribs of a monolithic slab using the same horizontal tapes, as well as installing clamps to fixate on the edge of the vertical ribs.
