Abstract This paper describes the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for the repair of leaking Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) pipe. The existing piping system, which is used for slurry transport, consisted of straight pipe, reducers, and elbows connected by bell and spigot joints. The piping system was evaluated for pressure, deadweight, and fluid thrust loads in accordance with B31.1 Power Piping Code and ASME BPVC Section III, Code Case N-155. The pipe leaks and joint repairs were in accordance with ASME PCC-2 and ASME BPVC, Section III, Code Case N-155. The CFRP repair was done with Aegion TYFO® Fibrwrap® carbon fiber reinforced fiber wrap (TYFO SCH-41-2X) saturated with epoxy. The repair uses the unidirectional carbon fiber installed in layers 90° to each layer. The circumferential layers are used for hoop pressure stress while the axial layers restrain axial pressure, deadweight, and fluid thrust loadings on the pipe.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are widely used all over the globe as a repair and strengthening material for concrete elements. This paper looks at comparison of numerous methods to rehabilitate concrete beams with the use of CFRP sheet strips. This research work consists of 4 under-reinforced, properly cured RCC beams under two point loading test. One beam was loaded till failure, which was considered the control beam for comparison. Other 3 beams were load till the appearance of initial crack, which normally occurred at third-quarters of failure load and then repaired with different ratios and design of CFRP sheet strips. Afterwards, the repaired beams were loaded again till failure and the results were compared with control beam. Deflections and ultimate load were noted for all concrete beams. It was found out the use of CFRP sheet strips did increase the maximum load bearing capacity of cracked beams, although their behavior was more brittle as compared with control beam.

This article describes the results of the development of a high thermal conductivity carbon fiber reinforced polymer based on carbon fiber from pitch and an ENPB matrix modified with a carbon powder of high thermal conductivity. Data of the technological scheme of production and the results of determining the physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced polymer are presented.
