The main benefits of FRP composite rebars when compared to steel rebar:
CORROSION RESISTANCE - will not rust, and are impervious to the action of salt ions, chemicals, and the alkalinity inherent in concrete.
LIGHTWEIGHT - weigh approximately one-quarter the weight of an equivalent size steel bar, offering significant savings in both placement and use.
ELECTROMAGNETIC NEUTRALITY - contain no metal, and will not interfere with the operation of sensitive electronic devices such as medical MRI units or electronic testing devices.
THERMAL INSULATOR – highly efficient in resisting heat transfer, such as from building exteriors to interiors.
Utilizing inherent features / benefits, FRP composite rebar has cost effective application as a concrete reinforcing bar in the following markets when analyzed on a life-cycle cost basis:
Reinforced Concrete Exposed to Deicing Salts: Parking structures; bridge decks; Jersey barriers; parapets; curbs; retaining walls and foundations; roads and slabs on grade.
Structures Built in or Close to Sea water: Quays; retaining wall; piers; jetties; caissons; decks; piles; bulkheads; floating structures; canals; roads and buildings; offshore platforms; swimming pools and aquariums.
Applications Subjected to Other Corrosi
