GFRP rebar is one of the most developed types of composite materials that can be used in various civil engineering applications. GFRP reinforcement is being accepted widely due to its favorable properties:

• high strength-to-weight ratio
• electromagnetic neutrality
• corrosion-resistance
• ease of installation

Benefits

• Ease of installation: The GFRP bars are one-fourth the weight of steel bars, making it easier for engineers to complete a project within time restraints.
• Environmental durability: GFRP bars, are corrosion-resistant which enables engineers to build durable concrete structures in the chloride-rich environment. Marine structures.
• Electrically and thermally non-conductive: Since GFRP bars do not contain any metal, they are thermally and electrically con-conductive. This property makes fiberglass reinforcement an ideal material for sensitive buildings like research facilities, health facilities, power plants, etc.

Usage

Because it is easily machined, GFRP bars are ideally suited for components which need to be cut or drilled through

• Deep Foundation Tunnel Boring Machine “Soft-eye” Openings for Launch & Reception
• Sequential Excavation or NATM Tunneling
• diaphragm walls
• drilled pile walls
• form-work anchors
• temporary concrete buildings
• Soil Nails & Earth Retention
• Rock Bolts & Cable Bolts

The use of GFRP in civil engineering enables engineers to achieve better functionality, safety, and economy of construction.

From highway to marine structures, GFRP has proven and tested to be the best construction material available in the global rebar market.
