Photo Credit: Garth Fallis, Vector Group, Canada Trout River Bridge, Alaska-Canada Highway, 2003 FOR LONGER LIFE OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES Corrosion of internal reinforcing steel is one of the chief causes of failure of concrete structures. Inevitably concrete will crack, creating a direct avenue for chlorides to begin oxidizing the steel rebar. Fiberglass rebar (also known as FRP, GFRP or composite rebar), is a proven reinforcement that will give structures a longer service life. A complete spectrum of authoritative consensus – material, installation, testing, and design standards is...

Design Tensile Properties Tensile strength and E-Modulus Properties are measured per ASTM D7205-06, Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite Bars. The ultimate tensile load is measured, and the tensile modulus is measured at approximately 10% to 50% of the ultimate load. The slope of the stress-strain curve is determined as the tensile modulus. Ultimate Strain is extrapolated from the guaranteed tensile strength divided by the nominal area and modulus. The area used in calculating the tensile strength is the nominal cross-sectional area. The...

To characterize the long term properties of MATEENBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar, we frequently subject production lot samples to a 12.8pH alkaline solution, at 60°C (140°F) for 90 days and measures the residual tensile, modulus and strain properties of the sample. MATEENBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar achieves residual tensile strength retention in excess of 80% making them a “D1” durability according to CSA Standard S-807. Tensile E-modulus properties are typically not affected by the alkaline bath at elevated temperatures. Subjecting the fiberglass bars to an aqueous, high pH solution at elevated...

BENT BAR DETAILING GUIDE Most industry standard bent shapes are available in MATEENBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar with some exceptions as noted in the detailing guide. Standard steel shape codes are referenced along with those for fiberglass rebar. All bends must be made at the factory. Field bending of fiberglass rebar is not possible. This is because the bent bars must be formed in the factory while the thermo-set resin is uncured. Once the resin is cured, the process cannot be reversed. We advise that you work closely with the factory to implement the most economical detailing of bent bars and...
