In comparison with common steel,fiberglass rebar has a lot of excellent properties,as below
1. Impervious to chloride ion and chemical attack
2.Tensile strength greater than steel
3.1/4th weight of steel reinforcement
4.Transparent to magnetic fields and radio frequencies
5. Electrically and thermally non-conductive
The FRP rebar is becoming a promising alternative to steel reinforcement in concrete structures such as marine structures, parking structures, bridge decks, highway under extreme environments, and structures highly susceptible to corrosion and magnetic field
