ABSTRACT:
An article and method for reinforcing structural members is provided. The article includes a carbon fiber material, preferably a carbon fiber mesh with a roughened surface defined by an epoxy resin. The article has lateral fibers woven into longitudinal carbon fibers that are in tension, creating a mesh. An epoxy resin is applied to the fiber mesh to form adelete-start id="DEL-S-00001" date="20070918" ?rigidifieddelete-end id="DEL-S-00001" ?insert-start id="INS-S-00001" date="20070918" ?rigifiedinsert-end id="INS-S-00001" ?fiber mesh tape once the resin is cured. To obtain a roughened surfaceinsert-start id="INS-S-00002" date="20070918" ?,insert-end id="INS-S-00002" ?a plastic sheet is removably attached to the surface of the fiber mesh. The plastic sheet is removed thereby exposing a roughened carbon fiber surface defined by the epoxy. An alternative tensile tape is also provided for reinforcing a wall structure.
