JB-13 GFRP RE- BARS

JB Engineering Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars available in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 32mm & 36mm; the tensile strength is twice stronger and four times lighter than TMT bars. These offers several advantages like corrosion resistance, stronger, lighter, cheaper are the important advantages of GFRP Rebars for Construction.

To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel reinforcement. The steel rebar is protected from corrosion by the alkaline environment in the concrete. This protection is normally satisfied when the structure is not subjected to an aggressive environment, has enough concrete cover, a limited number of cracking and good concrete qualities. However, over time carbonation, in particular if the structure is affected by chlorides from de-icing salts or seawater the reinforcement will start to corrode due to the reduction of alkalinity in the concrete. The Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer survives for a long time period when its usage is made in around sea shore regions. It survives salty environment and protects itself for corrosion.

Some feature and benefits of GFRP are:

Higher strength, regularly twice the strength or more compared with steel.
High corrosion and chemical resistance, which lowers maintenance costs
Thermal and electrical nonconductive.
Low weight, GFRP weighs only ¼ of the weight steels does.

The use of externally bonded GFPR for retrofitting concrete structures is today commonly used and accepted worldwide. The use of internal reinforcement has not had the same rate of success, even though it is frequently used in around the world.

JB Engineering Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Rebars offers several Advantages for Construction which can contribute to cost savings, improved sustainability, and enhanced construction efficiency and can be narrated as under:

Structural Integrity & Load-Bearing Capacity: GFRP Rebars provides the Strength which is necessary to support various loads, including dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads.
Durability: GFRP REBARS being a Strong materials and well-constructed structures are more durable and can withstand weather, aging, and wear and tear. GFRP Rebar is a corrosion-resistant material and increases the lifespan of construction.
Lower Transportation Cost: GFRP Rebars Being a Lighter material, is easier to transport and cost-effective.
Faster Construction: GFRP Rebars Being a Lightweight material, are easy to install and carry from one location to another. This can result in a faster construction process and reduce labor costs.
Design Flexibility: GFRP Rebars being a Lightweight material offers flexible design, allowing architects and builders to explore innovative and unconventional design options.
Non-metallic Composition: GFRP Rebar comprises Glass Fiber embedded with polymer resin. It lacks metal components and does not rust when exposed to moisture, oxygen, chemicals. These are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and alkalis, often present in corrosive environments.
Moisture resistance: GFRP rebar does not absorb water or moisture, a critical factor in preventing Corrosion. GFRP Rebar is highly resistant to saltwater, making it an ideal choice for marine and coastal construction projects.
Durability in Aggressive Environments: GFRP rebar excels in aggressive environments, such as wastewater treatment facilities, chemical plants, and structures exposed to de-icing salts or corrosive gasses. It maintains its structural integrity and does not corrode under these conditions.
Cost-effective: GFRP Rebar is a cost-effective material. It is a more robust, lighter, cheaper, Corrosion resistant, non- conductive material. It increases the life span of construction. It decreases the maintenance and replacement of construction. It is a cost-effective material. It is an ideal choice for construction.
