Bowed Wall Stabilization
Block or CMU walls fail for several reasons, ranging from lack of reinforcing steel to excessive loads. When a wall bows, the tensile strength of rebar will not be effectively transferred to the wall. Even in cases where the walls are constructed properly, expansive clay soils can still cause bowing.
Carbon fiber is an effective reinforcement solution for bowed walls because it has little to no elongation. As long as it is appropriately bonded to the concrete or masonry substrate, it will not stretch and will only fail if the capacity of the strap is reached.
Composite straps exhibit a design tensile strength of over 40,000 pounds, which in most cases will provide the resistance needed to stop movement related to the external soil pressure.
