Antistatic Twill Weave Carbon Fiber cloth

Energy is used in the production of carbon fibers. Using these fibers with a smart design to avoid overuse in composites will help protect the environment, as well as prevent high costs. Cladding panels, one of the two main uses of FRCMs, are generally supported along their length. Higher tensile stresses occur in the length direction. To carry high tensile stresses, a high amount of reinforcement is also required. When stresses are successfully carried along the long span direction, there will be no need for reinforcement in the short span direction. The second use area of FRCM composites is strengthening against earthquake loads. The reinforcements in the direction corresponding to the tensile stress work actively, while in the other direction the reinforcements are subordinate. In the directions where the composite is not subjected to any load or subjected to very low loads, instead of using carbon fibers, the use of e-glass fibers will prevent unnecessary use of carbon fibers. In this way, the aim is to achieve a similar performance by using less carbon fiber or to obtain superior performance by using the same amount of carbon fiber. The performances of composites with high-volume carbon fiber along the beneficial direction: (CL fabrics), carbon along the primary direction and e-glass along the secondary direction, and the composites produced with only carbon: (C fabrics), equal amounts of carbon fiber in both directions, in high-strength matrices were experimentally compared. Ensuring that carbon fibers carry a load close to their capacity is also important for the efficient use of resources. When using commercial carbon fabrics without designing the composite, the loads on the carbon fibers are far below the fiber load-carrying capacity. In previous studies, this has not been emphasized enough. Here, it is necessary to increase the stresses on carbon fibers to use carbon fibers more efficiently. For this reason, it is thought that the use of fabrics produced with yarns containing less fiber and more surface coating could be effective. In this study, in the composites with two different carbon amounts in the same direction in two high-strength cementitious matrices, the stresses on the carbon fibers and on the entire composite section are addressed. In this context, the novelty of the study is, addressing the more efficient use of carbon fabrics in high-strength matrices by employing the carbon fibers in the beneficial direction and changing the amount of coating per unit fiber area.
