What are other benefits of GFRP compared to steel?

Non-corrosive, non-conductive

GFRP composition means it&#;s the perfect reinforcement solution for environments exposed to water, salt, humidity, high voltage currents and magnetic fields. One bar &#; all applications.

2x stronger than steel

A unique threaded surface creates a super strong bond with concrete. No heating up of rebar and loss of strength. 2x the tensile strength of steel and 20x the fatigue resistance. And no ongoing maintenance means time and money saved over it&#;s long lifespan.

75% lighter than steel

A lightweight GFRP composition means it&#;s easy to handle and transport, but extremely durable in any environment &#; guaranteed to last.

Lower carbon footprint & longer lasting than steel

It has been proven by research that the carbon footprint of GFRP reinforcement is less than steel. For example, in one of these studies, it is found that the GFRP-reinforced pedestrian bridge reduced the total carbon emissions by about 43% compared to a steel-reinforced pedestrian bridge (link to study).

Prices of GFRP are less likely to increase compared to steel

Our glass fibre MST BAR® has a much lesser likelihood of price increases as compared to steel rebar which keeps costs low.

Fiber performance is influenced by three characteristics; tensile strength, aspect ratio (calculated as the length/diameter) and anchorage (hooked, crimp, emboss, fibrillation, etc.). One characteristic does not outweigh another; all three items have to work together for optimal performance.

Fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material and therefore, all fibers are tested in the concrete to prove their performance.

The fibers then provide ductility and support by bridging cracks and thus providing post crack strength to the concrete. Fibers begin to function in a structural supportive manner when the concrete matrix starts to crack, just like traditional reinforcement. The crack has to occur for the load to switch from the concrete to the reinforcement.
