Popular Uses of GFRP Composite Rebar
Range of Applications
Composite rebar can be successfully applied in the following areas of construction:
1. For reinforcement of concrete structures and mixed reinforced concrete structures.
2. In reinforced structures exposed to aggressive environments that cause corrosion of steel reinforcement (in structures in contact with sea water, such as embankments, river bank protection). Rational use of fiberglass reinforcement in the elements of road construction (eg. road plates) that are exposed to aggressive anti-icing agents.
3. When repairing concrete structures damaged by the influence of aggressive media (especially chloride).
4. Thin-walled structures for various purposes in cases where there is no opportunity to provide regulatory requirements for the thickness of the protective layer.
5. In the construction of concrete panel buildings.
6. Lighting columns, electric poles, power lines traverse isolation.
7. Used in the construction of sewers and structures below ground to exclude the occurrence of stray currents and electro osmosis
8. To improve thermal performance of walls, we recommend the use of fiberglass reinforcement in sandwich wall panels, as flexible connections.
9. Used in structures subjected to constant heat of up to 60 degrees C and short-term exposure up to 100 degress C.
10. Used in load bearing structures of pools with wall thickness of 200mm
11. Certified for use in building of up to 3 floors.
12. Used in the construction of agricultural structures and (poultry, piggeries, barns) as reinforcement does not contrain phenol resins, as shown by Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion.
13. Used in road construction as a load-bearing reinforcement for highways that experience heavy traffic.
With the improvement of quality fittings and obtaining new data for longer periods of tests the scope of ACC can be further expanded in view of improving technology and production.
