Sign in View Cart Key Findings: Assessment of GFRP Properties White Paper White Paper by by David Trejo, PhD There has been significant development in the design and use of GFRP reinforcing bars. This report provides an overview of the literature on the properties, characteristics, and performance of GFRP bars. This literature review indicates that when compared with steel reinforcement, GFRP reinforcing bars exhibit lower modulus of elasticity values, lower ductility, and lower bar concrete bond. The literature also indicates that structures reinforced with GFRP can exhibit larger deflections and larger crack widths. GFRP bars are also lighter than steel bars and are non-conductive and non-magnetic, which provide some potential benefits for specific situations. However, one characteristic that has not achieved consensus in the engineering community is the durability of GFRP when embedded in concrete. In the large majority of cases concrete has ahigh relative humidity within its pore system and this moisture consists of a high pH solution. Your price: 0.00 Quantity: Similar Items Assembling Reinf.
