How to fiberglass rebar compared to steel rebar?
GFRP rebar has tensile strength of over 1000 MPa. This is over twice the tensile strength of steel rebar, which is typically 400 to 500 MPa. Steel rebar has a high modulus of elasticity (400-500 GPa), while GFRP rebar has 46-60 GPa. However, GFRP rebar doesn’t expensive concrete waterproofing additives required, has zero maintenance costs, GFRP rebar is lighter than steel – saves on freight, speeds up installation, and reduces labor requirements.
