Deformed GFRP Reinforcement Bar

Deformed GFRP Reinforcement Bar
Sustainable, rust-proof alternative to traditional steel reinforcement
Deformed glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)
Reinforcement Bar is 1/4th the weight of steel
resulting in a 75% CO2 footprint reduction. All
grade 3 (structural) GFRP reinformcement bar
is 3 times stronger than steel which equates to
enhanced jobsite safety, with significant savings in
transportation and handling costs.
Deformed GFRP Reinforcement Bar is non-corrosive
and non-conductive which makes it suited for
any environmental exposure. Deformed GFRP
Reinforcement Bar does not conduct electricity, is
non-magnetic, does not interfere with RF signals, and
is UV Stable.

Sawcut control joints at 13ft to 16ft spacing maximum, depth
of sawcut shall be 25% of slab thickness.
If you wish to use MST-BAR #3 bars, you can increase the
spacing accordingly based on tensile capacity of the GFRP,
capacity between the two is 26%, therefore spacing can be
increased by 26%.
Expansion joints shall be at maximum spacing of 50ft.
Mid-strip is 50% of width of panel between joints.
Edge-strip is 25% of width of panel along all joints.
All #3 Horizontal Bar rebars are placed at mid-depth of slab
unless otherwise noted.
Cover to additional top rebars shall be 1” to 1-1/2” minimum.
Applications
Maximum Strength Deformed GFRP Reinforcement Bar is accepted to be used anywhere that steel rebar is
used. It is especially necessary to use in coastal areas, near high voltage currents and near magnetic fields.
Some examples would include dams, buildings, roads and bridges, pools and patios, piers, and parking
garages.

The Only Authentic Integrally Ribbed GFRP
The specially engineered and designed Integral Rib mechanically locks the Maximum Strength Deformed
GFRP Reinforcement Bar into the concrete. Unlike every other rebar (steel or GFRP), the only way to pull it out
of the concrete is to break the concrete itself.
There are many benefits to the Integral Rib. Not only are there less cracks with smaller crack widths, you can
also avoid 50% of traditional bent bar applications by using straight lengths of Maximum Strength Deformed
GFRP Reinforcement Bar. These applications include but are not limited to joining slabs, joining walls to floors,
corners, anchoring and less embediment lengths.
