Does the appearance of carbon fiber cloth affect the quality?

Carbon fiber and high-strength glass fiber are used as reinforcement materials for load-bearing structures, and serious defects in their appearance quality usually affect the mechanical performance or durability of the structure and components. Therefore, it should be checked or inspected as one of the main control items.

For serious defects that have occurred, the construction unit shall propose a technical treatment plan, which shall be dealt with after being approved by the design and supervision unit, and re-inspected and accepted. As for the general defects of appearance quality, although they will not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the structure and components, they affect the look and feel. Moreover, it is caused by lax inspections on the site. It is difficult to persuade the owner to accept defective materials with justified reasons. Therefore, the construction unit should also be instructed to deal with the general defects that have appeared, and re-inspect and accept them.
