Description

~FRP materials exhibit several properties including high tensile strength that make them suitable for the use as structural reinforcement. Furthermore, codes and design guide provisions have been recently prepared for the use of FRP rebar in concrete structures for bridges and buildings
~The Benefits ï‚·
Cost effective ï‚· Resistance to chloride ion and chemical attack ï‚· Tensile strength greater than steel ï‚· 1/4th weight of steel reinforcement ï‚· Transparent to magnetic fields and radio frequencies ï‚· Electrically and thermally non-conductive ï‚· Long service life ï‚· Use less concrete in compare to steel rebar ï‚· Precast concrete structure application in concrete due to increase in life cycle and cyclic loading and corrosion resistance
