Point of the Proposed Technology
It is a carbon fiber rod that uses a thermoplastic resin. With this rod, end-part fixing, which was previously difficult, iseasily performed, and processing such as on-site bending is allowed. Utilizing its features of being light and strong,the product is expected to improve the workability of the conventional work and increase the productivity at theplant.
Effect(s)
Workability improvement, weight-savingof the whole work, cost reductionthrough elimination of heavy machinery,and long lifecycle
Conventional Technology
Developed as a substitute for steel (brace material) used for seismic strengthening material of building structures, etc.!
