The use of FRP in flatwork applications is growing at a fast pace. More durable and aesthetically pleasing concrete work as corrosion is completely removed from the equation. FRP reinforcement also has numerous benefits that will save headaches to owners and contractors.
Why Composite Rebar:
High tensile strength
Being corrosion resistant, FRP won't stain the concrete with rust
Non-conductive, "Healthy homes" where the electrically/magnetically neutral FRP addresses any concerns with EMF
Lightweight and easier to handle & transport
Price efficient when compared with black steel
For minimum reinforcement (flatwork/slab on ground) the replacement for black steel rebar is one for one
