Why You Should Use FRP Rebar and FRP Profile for Your Next Construction Projects?
If you are looking for a strong, durable and cost-effective alternative to steel rebar, you should consider using FRP rebar and FRP profile for your next construction project. FRP stands for **Fiber Reinforced Polymer**, a composite material made of fiberglass roving and resin. FRP rebar and FRP profile have many advantages over steel rebar, such as:
– **Higher strength**: FRP rebar and FRP profile have up to **2x the tensile strength** compared to steel rebar of the same size diameter³⁴. This means they can withstand higher loads and stresses without breaking or deforming.
– **Lighter weight**: FRP rebar and FRP profile are up to **7x lighter** than steel rebar in concrete flatwork applications³ and up to **4x lighter** than steel rebar of the same size diameter⁴. This means they are easier to handle, transport and install, reducing labor costs and time.
– **Rustproof**: FRP rebar and FRP profile are **non-corrosive**, meaning they will never rust or deteriorate due to exposure to moisture, chemicals, salt or other environmental factors. This means they can extend the service life of concrete structures and reduce maintenance costs.
– **Non-conductive**: FRP rebar and FRP profile are **electrically and thermally insulating**, meaning they will not interfere with electromagnetic signals or cause thermal expansion or contraction. This means they are ideal for applications where electrical or thermal conductivity is undesirable, such as near power lines, pipelines, railways or airports.
FRP rebar and FRP profile are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
– Residential and commercial buildings
– Parking lots, sidewalks, patios, pool decks and driveways
– Bridge decks, barriers, seawalls and balconies
– Industrial floors, foundations, tunnels and pipes
FRP rebar and FRP profile are also code-approved by various standards and organizations, such as ASTM D7957³⁴, ACI 440⁶, ICC-ES AC454 and more. They are designed and manufactured by reputable companies such as Owens Corning Infrastructure Solutions³⁴, Kodiak Fiberglass Rebar², American Fiberglass Rebar⁵ and Regbar.
