QuakeWrap™ is an economical Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) system for protecting buildings against blast loads. The following test presents a method to blast protect buildings with Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP).
Tests were conducted on two identical unreinforced masonry block walls. One of the walls was retrofitted by applying QuakeWrap™ fabric to both sides of the wall; the other wall remained unretrofitted as a control specimen. For all information and test results, see the video below:
