Fiberglass rebar area of application
Fittings made of composite materials are a product of new technologies, the technical characteristics of which make it possible to successfully use it as an alternative to traditional steel fittings in construction of:
Foundation;
Marine and port facilities;
Reinforcement of concrete tanks;
Repair and strengthening of bearing capacity of brick and reinforced concrete structures;
Road slabs, airfield slabs;
For the production of small architectural forms;
For the road paving and decking of highway bridges;
The implementation of the infrastructure elements in the chemical industries;
Repair of damaged brick and reinforced concrete structures;
Fittings are used for constructions based on gypsum binders;
Construction of swimming pools and industrial pools;
The application of fiberglass fittings in civil and industrial construction is caused by many variables:
Low specific gravity;
High corrosion resistance;
Low thermal conductivity of composite materials;
High strength, several times the strength of steel fittings;
Is a dielectric;
Durability;
As known, the main drawback of traditional low-carbon steel fittings is a low index of corrosion resistance, which limits their use in the construction of marine facilities and constructions located in the zone of variable water level.
Fiberglass mesh is designed to reinforce concrete structures instead of conventional metal reinforcement.
It has the following advantages in relation to metal:
9 times lighter
3 times stronger
corrosion resistant
significantly accelerates the reinforcement process (knitting on the object is not necessary)
no need to put chairs
low thermal conductivity
Composite bars are connected to the network using a unique patented technology, which uses high performance automatic equipment. The joint is also a stool that forms a protective layer of concrete. For different rod diameters, the height of the stool is different.
The only restriction on the use of fiberglass mesh is the inability to operate at temperatures above 150 �° C, therefore, it is not recommended to reinforce structures that must meet special fire requirements: building floors of more than 3 floors, bridge columns, monolithic towers of more than 3 floors.
With this exception, almost the entire range of concrete structures remains:
