Properties and advantages of composite reinforcement

Reinforcing bars made of composite materials are an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This is new, innovative technology, more economical, because it does not require expensive maintenance and repair after a long time, as in the case of reinforced concrete structures in which steel reinforcement is used.

Composite rebar – Description and properties

Fiberglass composite reinforcement is made by Pultrusia, which includes stretching continuous strands of chemical fibers through devices, which saturate a bunch of fibers by thermoreactive resin, give the shape of the cross section and strengthen the binder. As a result of this process, a composite is formed, consisting of a very large number of separate fibers with a parallel location, introduced into a polymer matrix based on epoxy resin. The braid increases the clutch of the rods with concrete (Similar to Overbating in steel reinforcing rods).

Reinforcing rods from the composites of Uralrmaprom have spiral nuts on the side surfaces, which are created by winding the fibers on the core of the rod during molding. The rods are delivered by sections – packs (in the entire range of diameters) or bays (For diameters 6,0-11,0 mm). You can order composite reinforcement on the site https://krasnodar.uralarmaprom.ru/ or t: +7 (862) 295-03-46.

The properties of the composite reinforcement uralarmaprom allow:

• reduce the weight of the structure due to the use of reinforcing rods of smaller diameter, Since they possess in 2,5 more timely strength for gap, than ordinary or stainless steel;
• significantly reduce the thickness of concrete, thereby reducing construction costs, transportation and storage of reinforcement at the construction site
• Significantly save on steel reinforcement by increasing the distance between the rods;
• reduce costs due to the simplicity of processing and the possibility of using in carved and drilled elements;
• simplify the construction process due to electrostatic, electric and magnetic indifferent.

It is worth noting the durability of the material, and the ability to use in difficult weather conditions due to high chemical and corrosion resistance

9 reasons to choose composite reinforcement instead of steel

1. The purchase price is lower than that of the metallic.
2. Low transportation costs – weight in 9 times less, than steel reinforcement.
3. Ease of use – Light weight greatly simplifies work with the material.
4. Minimum heat conductivity – The perfect solution for the construction of passive housing.
5. Efficiency of use – Thermal expansion of composite reinforcement excludes the formation of cracks in concrete due to temperature differences.
6. Do not require care – The material is resistant to corrosion.
7. High frost resistance.
8. Long service life
9. Saving when buying glass -airmator can be made before 50% expenses, related to the implementation of reinforcing and other works.
