KHAO KHO TRADITIONAL THAI HOUSE – Structural Strengthening for Heritage Wooden House Converted into Event Venue
Project Overview
The Khao Kho Traditional Thai House project involved the structural reinforcement of an existing reinforced concrete frame that supports a traditional Thai wooden house, now repurposed as an event venue. Due to substandard construction, the concrete beams lacked sufficient shear strength, and additional reinforcement was necessary for both beams and columns to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Material Used: SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30
The engineering team selected SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30, a high-performance Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheet ideal for reinforcing concrete under tension and shear stress. Its flexibility and strength make it well-suited for retrofitting existing structures.
🛠️ Strengthening Details
✅ Beams:
- Reinforced at both ends using U-wrap applications
- Applied with SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30
- Improved shear resistance where the original beams were insufficient
✅ Columns:
- Fully wrapped along their entire vertical length
- Increased shear resistance and overall load capacity
- Protected from future structural degradation
✅ Project Outcomes
- Structural reinforcement ensured safe support for the Thai heritage house
- Beams and columns upgraded to modern strength and durability standards
- Enabled functional transformation into a long-lasting event venue
- Achieved efficient strengthening without major demolition
- Reinforced at both ends using U-wrap applications
