Project Description: The building was constructed around the year 1900 and the floor slabs suffered from bending and deflection issues. The retrofit needed to be low profile due to the low floor-to-floor heights.
Solution: The carbon-based Tyfo® SCH-41 Composite System was utilized to increase the flexural capacity of the two-way slabs at three floors. Additionally, the composite system aided in increasing the slab stiffness in conjunction with a new concrete floor topping.
Summary: Over 15,000 square feet of slab was reinforced within a tight timeframe prior to the work of other disciplines related to the remodel project.
