Carbon fiber-based materials are increasingly being used for seismic reinforcement due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. CFRP materials are particularly useful for retrofitting buildings without adding significant weight to the structure. The use of base isolators, which decouple a building from ground motion during an earthquake, is becoming more common.
These isolators allow buildings to absorb seismic energy and reduce the risk of damage. As sustainability becomes more important in construction, there is a growing demand for environmentally friendly seismic reinforcement materials. Materials like recycled FRP and low-carbon concrete are becoming more common as the industry seeks to reduce its environmental footprint.
