Glass fiber reinforced rebar (GFRP) can replace steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Its use can be temporary \u2013 or permanent where there are requirements for high strength, risk of corrosion or to avoid or to avoid induction of currents from electromagnetic fields.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The product is an environmentally friendly solution that significantly reduces repair and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reinforcing bars are produced by pultrusion in a continuous production process. High-quality glass fiber with polyester or vinyl ester resin is used for reinforcement. Typical fiber content of 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GFRP reinforcement has twice the strength (tensile strength) compared to steel. The material has a linear-elasticity up to fracture \u2013 so-called brittle fracture. The weight is \u00bc compared to steel reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GFRP rebar is available in nominal diameters from 8 mm to 38 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angles \/ bends are available in various designs in 2D or 3D shapes, similar to steel rebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GFRP rebar has undergone extensive testing at Sherbrooke University in Canada, a world-leading institute for GFRP reinforcement research in the construction industry. Based on test results, the product is qualified as permanent reinforcement in concrete structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidance\/standards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 ACI 440.1R-15 \u2013 Guide for the Design and Construction of Structural Concrete Reinforced with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimensioning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The mechanical properties of FRP rebar differ from conventional steel rebar in several areas. This poses several challenges when developing a design methodology for concrete structures reinforced with fiberglass rebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General design recommendations for bending of concrete members with GFRP reinforcing bars are given in ACI 440.1R-06 (2006) Guide for Design and Construction of Structure Concrete Reinforced with FRP Bars, reported by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 440.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
