The Jaapsa FC-60 System
The Jaapsa FC-60 System is a reinforcement based on carbon fibers and rods, with high quality and high resistance polymers to reinforce structures by forming an external laminate to the element.
This is a system for structural replacement. The use of latest innovation composite materials, such as the Jaapsa FC-60 System, reinforces and repairs existing reinforced concrete structures, structures with deterioration, corrosion, design or construction errors, use modifications or increased loads.
This innovation is used to reinforce, restore and repair. In addition, it gives an increase in seismic resistance capacity, being the most economical alternative.
These materials have been used to reinforce bridges and buildings around the world. Rigorous structural and durability tests were performed to gain acceptance from Ministries and Departments of Transportation worldwide. The Jaapsa FC-60 system is enhanced by high mechanical resistance rod compounds.

Process for Reinforcement
- Structure inspection
- Analyze the existing structure. Determine causes for reinforcement.
- Execute the Reinforcement Project.
To do this, analyze the structure considering the different techniques, to reinforce, depending on the types of efforts (tension, compression, bending, stability, constant, etc.) required in the elements.
• Rigidize the structure (Inclusion of shear walls, steel diagonals, etc.)
• Section hitch.
• Composite construction. (FRP) (STEEL) etc.
• Post tensioning inside and / or outside.
• Reduction of efforts and / or load.
• Inclusion of metallic structures to reduce lights.
• Etc.
A balance must be struck between cost, performance, aesthetics, space, urgency, difficulty, and safety.
