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. SFT-Bar® can create optimal results thanks to its many benefits in Precast Tunnel Segment projects.
