GFRP Composite Rebar
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar
Sustainable, rust-proof alternative to traditional steel reinforcement
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar is 25% of the weight of steel and has a Specific Tensile Strength that is 2.5 times greater. This equates to enhanced jobsite safety, with significant savings in transportation and handling costs.
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar is rust- proof and rated for 100+ years of reinforcement in alkaline and acidic environments.
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar does not conduct electricity, is non-magnetic, does not interfere with RF signals, and is UV Stable.

Approvals & Governed Use:
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar is an approved reinforcement product according to ACI 440R-07 covering Basalt, Glass, Carbon and Aramid FRP’s. It’s used as per ACI 440.1R-06, and its construction use is dictated by Code 440.6-08, and tested according to ASTM D7205, and 5 other ASTM methods; demonstrating GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar exceeds requirements of ACI 440.6-08.
GFRP Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar can be placed to meet code requirements (or equivalent) by using the calculations and installation guidelines for GFRP reinforcement of concrete as defined in ACI 440.6- 08. Recommendations for maximum deflection and shear of concrete elements reinforced with FRP rebars are presented in ACI 440.1R-06, and specified by 440.5-08.
The use of GFRP is further approved under the ICC Evaluation Service, Acceptane Criteria for Fiber- Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bars, for Internal Reinforcement of Concrete Members [AC454] dated June 2016.

Non-Corrosive Benefits
• No added maintenance cost during the service life of the structure, unlike steel and other FRPs.
• Reductions in the overall concrete cover (usually required due to degradation from steel corrosion) can now
be considered.
• Expensive waterproof sealants, coatings and/or special concrete additives are no longer necessary to re-
sist or prevent corrosion.
• Chloride contaminated concrete consituents, such as water (saltwater) and aggregates, as well as chloride-
based accelerators and cement without chloride limits can now be used without detriment.
