Carbon Fiber used as part of a structural repair has many advantages over the old method of using steel to reinforce concrete. It is many times stronger than steel compared to its weight and it will not rust or corrode. Carbon fiber can be formed or cut in unlimited ways. It has very high tensile strength and very low elasticity making it ideal for concrete reinforcement repair. It is commonly formed as a strap or as a grid when used for foundation repair to reinforce a bowed basement wall so the wall does not re-crack. Carbon Fiber can also be formed as a staple or stitch for either a floor crack or a wall crack. Carbon fiber has no compression strength so epoxy crack injection must be used to prevent crushing the fiber.
