New Zealand Composites Technology Forum Provides Solutions for Earthquake Zones

The New Zealand Composites Association's (CANZ) Symposium on "The Role of Fiber Composites in the Reconstruction of Earthquake-Stricken Areas" will be held in Christchurch on November 4th. The New Zealand City suffered a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in February this year. .

"Because fiber composites have unique properties such as excellent tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, corrosion and chemical resistance, and great flexibility, they will be successfully built and restored in the city of Christchurch. It's important." CANBE president Bobbie Mortensen said, "The reconstruction of the city will benefit from the international fiber composite technology and design solutions that have been tried and tested around the world. They are similar."

Mortensen said: "The seminar is particularly useful for architects, engineers, developers and builders as well as local government agencies. They will find that the advanced fiber composite materials process can provide a full set of technology, design and material solutions to repair the Clys The city of Techerch, repairing and strengthening existing buildings, recreating the city’s heritage appearance and other historic buildings.”
