Dosed correctly, macrofibers eliminate rebar in ICF walls for significant time and cost savings. To improve the workability of fiber-reinforced concrete, the ACI 544.3 standard offers ...
On May 2, the ASTM announced that its composite materials committee (D30) had developed a “new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)” rebar.
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar, also known as fiberglass rebar, is a type of reinforcement material used during construction, particularly in reinforced concrete structures. This material ...
The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...
first of a kind glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) manufacturing facility in South Africa is set to disrupt the local construction industry with a sustainable alternative to steel rebar and mesh ...
