Alternative directed fiber mats (not CSM) of density

as minimum requirements for number of layers, total
density and total mat thickness are met.
IMPORTANT!
Secondary bondings must be avoided for the lamina-
tion, see General page 51.
First layer
Cover the beams with a mat that is extended 100
mm (4”) out from the sides and 50 mm (2”) up from the
ends of beams.
Layers no. 2–12
Place
eleven further layers, each overlapping the previ-
ous with 50 mm (2”) in all directions.
IMPORTANT!
Drainage holes in any reinforcement beam must not
have a diameter larger than 25 mm (1”).
