Replacement of steel rebars by GFRP rebars in the concrete structures

What is GFRP Rebar?

  • GFRP rebar allows contractors to substitute steel rebar with composite non-corrosive and non-metallic reinforcement. Glass Rebar can be used for both new construction or as a strengthening material.GFRP rebar solutions offer very high tensile performances for a lightweight: up to 8 times the performance/weight ratio of steel.

  • GFRP Rebar is a structural ribbed reinforcing bar made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant glass fibers that are impregnated and bound by an extremely durable polymeric Thermoset resin.

  • Corrosion of internal reinforcing steel is one of the chief causes of failure of the concrete structure resulting in the crashing of concrete creating a direct avenue for chloride stobeg in oxidizing the steel rebar.NJ ENGITECH is aprovenand

  • Makes concrete structures durable in aggressive environments.

  • Provides longer service life compared with structures reinforced with steel.

  • Complies with ASTM D7957 and CSA S807 material standards for Solid Round Fiberglass Rebar Bars for Concrete Reinforcement.
