The Rise of Composite Reinforcements: A Revolution…
For over a century, steel has been the reference material for reinforcing concrete. Yet its main limitation — corrosion — carries an enormous financial and environmental cost. Every year, billions of dollars are spent repairing…
Composite Reinforcements vs Steel: Which Is the…
When it comes to choosing reinforcement for reinforced concrete, most engineers and contractors instinctively turn to steel. Strong, economical, and widely used, steel has shaped modern construction.However, steel has one major weakness: corrosion. This limitation…
Manufacturing Process of Fiberglass Rebar: From Raw…
Fiberglass reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar is not just an alternative to steel — it represents a major technological advancement. Its performance depends on a strict manufacturing process that ensures high mechanical strength, durability, and long-term…
Durability and Maintenance of GFRP-Reinforced Structures
Durability is a major challenge in civil engineering. Every year, billions are spent repairing reinforced concrete infrastructures weakened by steel corrosion.With the emergence of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcements, a new era has begun…
History and Key Milestones of FRP Reinforcements
History and Key Milestones of FRP Reinforcements Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcements have come a long way since their experimental beginnings over half a century ago. As early as 1956, MIT built an experimental all-composite house…
Landmark Projects and Diverse Applications of FRP…
Over the decades, FRP reinforcements have been deployed in a wide range of structures, from bridges to tunnels and buildings with high technical requirements. Here are some notable examples illustrating the diversity of their applications:…
Standards, Codes, and Certifications Governing FRP Reinforcements
The adoption of FRP reinforcements has been accompanied by the gradual development of technical guides and standards worldwide. Initially limited to informal recommendations, these have increasingly evolved into full regulatory codes fully integrating these non-metallic…
How and where to best use FRP…
FRP reinforcements are designed to replace steel in concrete, with the advantage of being CE-certified (ETA) for structural use in Europe. Their properties—high strength, corrosion resistance, light weight, and magnetic neutrality—make them particularly suitable for…
