Carbon Fiber Wrapping to repair corroded steel structures 1

[SIMONMAGSUCANG]

Hi all,

I need to repair the angle steel and I-Beam which are heavily corroded plus metal loss, it is for overhead pipe rack, this is an old LNG plant where these steel structures had never been changed since the last 25 years. I'm currently looking at repairing these steel structure by using Carbon Fiber Wrap; I know this method has been widely used but I just couldn't find any calculation to support my proposal, can anyone here help?

Can you post pictures? I'm wondering how that repair could be less expensive or easier than adding steel reinforcements.
