    FRS Methodology

    Henry Florendo
    The application procedure for the fischer Reinforcement System FRS involves surface inspection and preparation, priming, application of carbon fiber sheets using epoxy resin, and finishing. Any damages or irregularities on the structure must be identified and repaired before applying the FRS. After cleaning and smoothing the surface, a primer is applied and allowed to dry. Carbon fiber sheets are cut to size, saturated with epoxy resin using rollers to fully impregnate the sheets and remove air bubbles, and additional layers may be added once the prior layer cures. A finishing coating can be applied after 24 hours.

    Application Procedure for fischer Reinforcement System FRS

    SURFACE INSPECTION
    The structures or elements to be applied with the fischer
    Reinforcement System FRS must be properly surveyed
    for damages and irregularities prior to application of the
    carbon fiber sheets. Any corroding reinforcing bars must
    be identified and repaired or provided with corrosion
    resistant material.
    SURFACE PREPARATION
    All cracks should be first injected with an appropriate
    epoxy resin injection such as fischer FC-13 epoxy
    system.
    Concrete defects like spalling or honeycomb should be
    repaired with an appropriate concrete repair system.
    Water leakage into the structure needs to be identified
    and repaired prior to the application of fischer
    Reinforcement System FRS. Water conveyance may be
    required.
    The concrete surface should to be clean, dry and
    sound. All laitance and other surface contaminants
    should be removed by mechanical means such as sand
    blasting, grinding or water blasting. The actual method
    to be employed will depend on the condition the
    surface.
    All surface irregularities and defects shall be grounded
    smooth. Surface irregularities of less than 4mm can be
    filled with fischer FRS-CB mixed with silica sand to form
    a grout mix and irregularities between 4mm to 20mm
    can be smoothened using fischer EC Plaster. All
    concrete angles shall be rounded to no less than R =
    20mm. Internal angles should be smoothened.
    PRIMING
    The ficher EC Primer are specially developed for use
    with the fischer Reinforcement System FRS to improve
    adhesion of the FRS-CB to the concrete substrate. Do
    not thin fischer EC Primer. Mix the primer using a
    suitable paddle for 5 minutes and apply by brush or
    roller to the concrete surface. The concrete must be dry
    before application.

    Application Procedure for fischer Reinforcement System FRS


    fischer FRS-CS APPLICATION
    Ensure that all surface repair materials and fischer EC
    Primer is dry prior to application of FRS-CS carbon fiber
    sheets.
    Cut sheets according to desired sizes. Do not remove
    backing.
    Mix appropriate batches of FRS-CB epoxy resin and
    hardener with ratio of 4:1 ( FRS-CB comes in a 5 Kg set :
    4 kg resin and 1 kg hardener ). Coverage of mixed FRS
    CB is 1 kg for every 1 sqm of FRS-CS. Do not apply if
    relative humidity is 85% or greater. Do not thin mixture.
    Apply first coat of FRS-CB mixture by brush or roller
    ( coverage at approximately 0.5mm thick ).
    Prior to application of the FRS-CS carbon fiber sheets,
    ensure proper orientation of the fiber ( FRS-CS is unidirectional ). Apply the FRS-CS using a rubber squeegee
    or ribbed metal roller to impregnate fully the FRS-CS with
    the resin. Extrude all air or bubbles, as this will mean that
    the resin has fully impregnated the sheet. Apply a second
    coat of the resin by brush or roller ( coverage at
    approximately 0.5mm thick ). Observe curing time.
    SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT LAYERS:
    Should a second layer of FRS-CS is required, repeat the
    sequence above, ensuring that the thickness of the resin
    application is the same and the carbon fiber sheet is fully
    impregnated and that all air is extruded. Observe curing
    time.
    FINISHING
    Finishing or protection coating can be applied to the
    fischer Reinforcement System FRS after 24 hours
    following the sheet application. Should cement plaster be
    applied, broadcast fine sand to the surface of the FRS-CS
    while the resin is still tacky. Allow 24 hours curing prior to
    application of cement plaster.
