Definition:
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar is a composite reinforcing bar manufactured using glass fibers as the reinforcement and synthetic resin as the matrix, typically produced through pultrusion or similar processes.
Key Characteristics:
- High tensile strength
- Lightweight
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Strong bond with surrounding materials (e.g., concrete)
- High design flexibility
- Excellent electromagnetic transparency (non-magnetic and radar-transparent)
- Easy to handle and install
Applications:
Widely used in metro tunnels, highways, bridges, airports, ports, railway stations, hydraulic structures, and underground construction projects.
