On behalf of KBK MediZorg, the specialists from SealteQ Ivacon (Amsterdam) have reinforced a concrete floor in the VU medical center.
Carbon adhesive reinforcement VU Medical Center
We reinforced this floor by applying carbon fiber reinforcement. For every intervention where carbon fiber reinforcement is applied, a structural engineer makes a calculation in advance. This was also the case here. After making the structural calculations, we pre-treated the surface by diamond grinding. Subsequently, we performed adhesion strength measurements and finally bonded the carbon fiber strips with epoxy.
In total, we applied 22 carbon fiber strips with a total length of 160 meters.
