I've seen this proposed for concrete footings. Tensile stength is what's important in that aspect, so it seems like a valid option. It's one of those things that needs more time and data to fully understand how it'll perform.
I would highly recommend using steal bar for anything that is a heavy load of is part of a structure. This fibreglass material has been tried out in the uk, now is banned from anything that is structural like especially roadworks and building.
they already add fiberglass to some concrete .. but let see who thinks bend strength is the same as tensile/pull.. this would be nice for patios and small stuff ..nothing major obv
The thermal expansion coefficient of GFRP rebars is closer to that of concrete than that of steel rebars, so it has better bonding force with concrete.
Real job sites the steel rebar pre bent because there isn’t time to bend it in the field. FRP is the same, you order it bent and even coils for caissons and pilasters.
I'm all done for new products, but here in good ole funitoba our lovely city and provincial governments decided to try this on a bridge over a river. Turns out no one took into account the climate change here, then they decided to add an extension for bikes/hitchhiker's. My uncle said he was on the crew who built that bridge and the company he's with is paid $1mil every year to keep supports in place and to inspect it 3x a year. In 10 years time it's finally slated to be replaced.
@@woodbullyltd I'm not sure who's bar it was, but it was a fiberglass bar. I personally don't feel it would be good for roads, but for housing? Yeah why not? If it's cheaper than steel why not use it for a basement floor? Or some footings for a deck or steps?
Wait until you get shredded by the first splintered bar.
“Oh wow, this rebar is so smoooooth…” looks at hand…
let's see how it bends.
It doesn't bend, but 90 and 45 bended pieces are available. And supposedly, you can use it in combination with steel bars for splicing.

I would highly recommend not advising to "steel" bars to build motorways

Is it rated for block walls?
I've used it in an MRI building.
Bend it! That would convince me!
So is rebar for decoration or for eazy use or to hold your co concrete structure better do pressure test then we can talk
How strong is it compared to regular re bar
2X
@@woodbullyltd Does it expand at the same rate as concrete?
@@mhx6437 Yes
@@woodbullyltd Probably much easier to transport too on far distances, less weight = less fuel used!
I’d rather my house was built with metal and brick.
After the first splinter that you’ll never get out…your view will change
What’s the thermal expansion on that
The thermal expansion coefficient of GFRP rebars is closer to that of concrete than that of steel rebars, so it has better bonding force with concrete.
And dont worry, it only feels like you got jumped by a group of porcupines with cactus bats, at least the green stuff. Never used the pink
O and how would u bend it
They provide bends just like rebar on real job sites
@@woodbullyltdon real job sites they have a rebar bender… you getting paid by the manufacturer to hustle this stuff?

Normal person... You've not met a lot of tradies brickies or ironworkers have ya?
Can it bend, kind sir?
They sell bends
It can bend a little bit. But typically, most people want their walls NOT to bend. 😂
@@kenmorrisproducer so walls will break instead . great
Sir please speak for yourself cause I lifted bundles of rebar that weighed over 400 pounds.

Some stuff is heavy. Deal with it, miss.
Lol. Sure bud
This guy doesn't even use wheels. They are for weak fools. I carry everything by hand and walk everywhere I go. Deal with it miss.
Just no
Can you bend it?
They sell bends
@@woodbullyltd so cant
And probably made in China
☀️ P r o m o s m
no thanks
Kk
@@woodbullyltdfrp bars have been around since 1960s but it's just becoming affordable
More like gaybar
Cool until you have to bend it.😮
