Structural Technologies - Model CSS V-Wrap™ -Structural Reinforcement System
The CSS V-Wrap™ system represents an innovative approach to structural reinforcement, aiming to enhance the load-carrying capacity, ductility, and seismic resistance of various structures such as buildings, bridges, silos, and tanks. Engineered for seamless application, the system leverages composite materials to provide significant improvements in flexural, axial, and shear strength while maintaining a lightweight profile. This system is ICC-ES certified (ESR 4930), affirming its compliance with industry standards and ensuring long-term durability. The V-Wrap™ system is particularly advantageous in scenarios with limited access or complex geometries, as it offers a low profile installation, typically between 1/8 and 1/4 inch in thickness, thereby minimizing aesthetic impact. It is designed to offer a comprehensive solution for concrete strengthening and repair, in collaboration with Simpson Strong-Tie, to provide clients with reliable products, effective installation, and robust support.
End-to-End Strengthening Solutions
CSS V-Wrap™ revolutionizes structural reinforcement, offering a seamless solution to bolster load-carrying capacity, ductility, and seismic resilience across a range of structures. With effortless application, this composite delivers enhancements in flexural, axial, and shear strength, all while maintaining a lightweight profile.
A Strong Alliance for Stronger Structures
Through an alliance, STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES and Simpson Strong-Tie offer one-stop, end-to-end concrete strengthening and repair solutions with the best products, installation and support available.
The systems are used to restore or increase the load-carrying capacity, ductility, and seismic resistance of structures – ideally suited for applications with limited access and/or complex geometries.
Versatile
Utilized on a variety of structures, including buildings, bridges, silos, and tanks to increase capacity while also improving ductility and overall seismic performance.
ICC-ES Certified
CSS V-Wrap™ products are ICC certified (ESR 4930), meeting or exceeding industry standards for long-term durability.
Low Impact
Composites have a very high strength-to-weight ratio – allowing for structural enhancement using a low profile system, minimizing aesthetic impact. Installations typically have a maximum thickness between 1/8 and 1/4 inch.
