Fiberglass rebar applications in precast tunnel segments.
The use of Steel rebar as structural reinforcement in precast tunnel segments has several disadvantages in terms of low structural durability and high weight of segment for transportation. Furthermore, this reinforcement type can create electric joints, which often lead to corrosion problems.
BENEFITS OF FRP REBAR
- Demolished later
- Temporary Application
- Permanent application
- Flexibility
- 1/4 the Weight vs. Steel Rebar
- Non-Corrosive with dielectric joints
- Long-term structural durability
