Fiberglass rebar

Fiberglass rebar, also known as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar, is a solid reinforcing bar used in structural applications. It is composed of high-quality fiberglass roving and a resin matrix, resulting in a durable and reliable material with superior tensile strength. Our GFRP bars feature a proprietary sand-coated outer surface, which enhances bonding strength with concrete and significantly reduces the risk of hand injuries from splintering during handling.

These GFRP rebars are specifically designed to reinforce both prestressed and non-prestressed construction structures and components. They are widely used in various applications, including building and structure foundations, concrete floors, and roads. Recently, GFRP rebars have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional steel rebars for concrete reinforcement.

However, it is important to note that, as with BFRP rebars, the direct substitution of steel rebars with GFRP counterparts may not always be feasible due to differences in mechanical properties. These differences include a lower modulus of elasticity, shear strength, and limited maximum sustained shear stress of GFRP rebars. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to applicable guidelines when designing GFRP-reinforced concrete structures.

By following these guidelines and considering the unique characteristics of GFRP rebars, engineers can ensure the successful integration of this innovative reinforcement solution into their projects. Our rebars can also be preassembled and supplied as a fiberglass structural mat.
