Composite Rebars Selection Guide for Construction
Composite rebars are a substitute for the conventional steel rebars, which are used to provide a non-corrosive reinforcement to concrete and add service life to it. They can be up to 75% lighter than the traditional steel rebars, which makes it easy to carry and transport. They are light-weight, rust and corrosion-proof, and flexible, which allows for a higher degree of freedom in building designs. Composite bars are used in weight-sensitive applications, and environmentally sensitive areas where moving heavy equipment is undesirable. They are gaining acceptance in a number of major applications, including industrial engineering, highway construction, railway construction, residential construction, etc. Click Here for Design Guide PDF Copy: Concrete has long been used as a building material for its high compressive strength, good durability and low cost. However, its well-known Achilles’ heel is its brittleness and limited tensile strength. This was solved quite handily about a century...
