Structural Strengthening work by
carbon laminate & Fiber
1. PMM Work :-
Objective: - These work procedure is established to make Level and Smoothness sections of
the structure.
Applicability:-This procedure is applicable to all RCC members for providing sufficient
cover to the confinement of existing concrete structure.
Reference document: - Technical specification & BOQ
Equipment: - Tray, Hand Gloves, Brush , Bucket/ Mortar Pan tools etc.
Procedure:-
1. After hacking of existing surface, surface grinding is done to the edges of RCC
members for rounding it to receive further treatment of Carbon wrapping.
2. Apply suitable bonding agent to the concrete surface before application of mortar to
ensure proper bonding of old and new concrete surface.
3. Mix Molith PMM powder with water in the proportion of 170 to 190 ml of water to 1
kg of PMM powder to get a cohesive mortar.
4. Apply it to the repaired surface with trowel to achieve required finished surface.
Cure the surface for 48 hrs to achieve required strength.

2. Monopol Grouting Work :-
Objective :- These work procedure is established to achieve homogeneous, high strength rcc
structure by grouting with low viscosity high molecular weight thermoset polymer.
Applicability:-This procedure is applicable to honeycombed concrete, cracks in RCC,
rehabilitation of fire and explosion damaged structure, sealer for concrete bridge decks etc.
Reference document: - Technical specification & BOQ
Equipment: - Epoxy grouting pump, PVC Nipple, Drill machine, blower machine, Chessel ,
Hammer tools etc.
Procedure:-
1. Clean and dry concrete surface prior to use.
2. Mark the location for PVC nipple fixing.
3. Drill the marked location with 12 mm dia, 50 to 75 mm deep holes in structural
members at the interval of 350mm in staggered manner or as directed by engineer in
charge.
4. Clean the holes by air blower prior to fixing nozzle.Fix nozzle in holes by applying
thixotropic epoxy putty to ensure complete setting. Cure it for 12 hrs.
5. Grouting injecting low viscosity high molecular weight thermoset polymer by
pressure and using injector with accessories till nozzles refuse to accept grout.
6. Cut the nozzle by chisel after completion of grouting without damaging structural
elements.

3. Carbon Laminate Work :-
Objective: - This work procedure is established to provide high stiffness and strength to
RCC member, with application Carbon laminate over the surface.
Applicability:-This procedure will be applicable to Beam, Slabs for Structural Strengthening
work by carbon laminate.
Reference document: - Technical specification & BOQ
Equipment: - Mixing jar, Drill Machine, Roller, Stirrer Rod, Tools & tackles.
Procedure:
1. The beam needs to be apply carbon laminate is marked as per design.
2. The laminate strips is cut out with required length by means of mechanical cutter.
3. The Carbon laminate adhesive will be added with proportion as per TDS and
mixed by means of mechanical stirrer to become smooth in consistency.
4. The mixed Adhesive is applied on marked portion on beams and also applied on
Laminate strips.
5. The strips is fixed on marked portion on beams and roller is applied on the
Laminate strips for smoothen surface and to avoid air void in between.
6. Clean the laminate strip .

4. Carbon Fiber Wrapping Work :-
Objective: - This work procedure is established to achieve a high stiffness, high tensile
strength structure with application of carbon fiber.
Applicability:-This procedure will be applicable to beam, column for Structural
Strengthening work by carbon fiber wrapping.
Reference document: - Technical specification & BOQ
Equipment: - Measuring jar, Roller, Stirrer Rod, PVC Hand gloves , Tools & tackles.
Procedure:-
1. After marking the location where wrap is going to come must be smoothen by
applying PMM mortar.
2. Apply base coat /Primer to prepared RCC structure and simultaneously wrap
unidirectional carbon fiber and it should be rolled with hard roller to air voids.
3. Over the fiber surface epoxy adhesive applied and quartz Sand sprinkled over it to
receive further finishes.

5. Glass Fiber Wrapping Work :-
Objective: - This work procedure is established to achieve a high stiffness, high tensile
strength structure with application of carbon fiber.
Applicability:-This procedure will be applicable to beam, column for Structural
Strengthening work by carbon fiber wrapping.
Reference document: - Technical specification & BOQ
Equipment: - Measuring jar, Drill Machine, Roller, Stirrer Rod, Tools & tackles.
Procedure:-
