Abstract:
A process for securing a flat strip lamella to a construction component surface, the flat strip lamella having a first end and a second end and comprising a plurality of carbon fibers extending parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction in a binder matrix, said process comprising:applying an adhesive layer comprising a reaction resin in a pasty consistency directly to the construction component surface; pressing the flat strip lamella against the adhesive layer; roughening or abrading the flat strip lamella outer surface to expose carbon fibers at contact areas located at said first and second ends of the flat strip lamella; pressing a metallic contact plate against each of the first and second ends of the flat strip lamella, respectively; connecting the contact plates to a source of electrical current; conducting electrical current through at least a portion of the carbon fibers such that the flat strip lamella is heated and the adhesive layer is heated via the flat strip lamella, thereby accelerating hardening of the adhesive layer to produce an adhesive bond between said flat strip lamella and said construction component surface.
