Sphera developed for Sika AG an international cloud-based application for the design of structural strengthening by FRP of reinforced concrete structures. The Sika® CarboDur® FRP Design Software is a professional, user-friendly tool that lets engineers quickly and confidently create the ideal fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening solution using the full Sika FRP range of products available in their region. By guiding you through each step, it automates all calculations—from columns under axial or combined bending loads to flexural and shear upgrades of beams and columns, even including fire-resistance checks for European standards—while keeping every parameter, result and verification fully transparent. Regular updates ensure ongoing compliance with major international codes such as ACI 440.2R-08, ACI 318-23, TR 55, Eurocode 2, SIA 262:2013, and CNR DT-200:2013 a multilingual interface adapts to local markets. Best of all, it’s free to use, putting Sika’s plates, fabrics, cords, rods and post-tensioned systems at your fingertips so you can design safe, professional strengthening solutions in minutes.
