Advantages of using GFRP Rebar

GFRP Rebar is corrosion resistant, thereby the amount of concrete cover can be reduced to a minimum. cost-efficient, which in addition to less concrete reduces the overall construction costs. In many instances, using this material works out to be less expensive than steel. resistant, being resistant to corrosive
environments significantly extends the overall lifespan. sustainable, because fewer materials are
required, the lifespan of structures are extended with less environmental impact. corrosion resistant, thereby no rusting occurs as a result of carbonation of the concrete. corrosion-free, which extends the intervals between renovations and minimizes maintenance costs. not a conductor, therefore the rebar does not conduct any electrical current and is transparent to magnetic fields and radio waves. non-magnetic, thereby no currents can be induced. insulated, against electric and magnetic currents and therefore will not affect high voltage appliances used in structures.
