Webinar #13 - SFT-Bar® replacing Steel Rebar in Concrete Reinforcement of Structural Elements

An Introduction to Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bar: Material Behavior, Design Guidelines, Design Example and Case study. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, known for their fatigue resistance and lightweight nature, have more tensile strength than steel bars. They are also nonmagnetic and immune to corrosion. North American governments and
major infrastructure entities have acknowledged FRP bars as a cost-effective construction material. This adoption is driven by the material's ability to extend the service life of public structures, which are often vulnerable to
corrosion-a factor that can adversely affect both the economy and the environment. The rising incidence of corrosion, exacerbated by climate change, has led to a surge in the utilization of fiber reinforcement materials.
Consequently, FRP bars have become a common choice for various applications, including highways, bridges, buildings, marine and waterfront constructions, water treatment facilities, MRI rooms, tunnels, and chemical
plants.
