- 2. WHAT IS CORROSION? Corrosion is one of the major reason of concrete deterioration. It makes steel reinforcement undergoes several chemical reactions. Corrosion of traditional reinforcement materials causes massive damage to structures exposed to severe environment. www.tuf-bar.com
- 3. Why is it that structures constructed with concrete 1000 of years ago have withstood the test of time, while structures constructed with reinforced concrete within the last 100 years have deteriorated rapidly? www.tuf-bar.com
- 4. The answer to this question is largely associated with the inability of traditional reinforcement to withstand corrosive environment. www.tuf-bar.com
- 5. SOLUTIONS The civil engineering community have already tried many techniques and additional coatings to prevent steel reinforcement from corrosion. Unfortunately, it all proved to be short term solutions. www.tuf-bar.com
- 6. SUSTAINABLE CORROSION-FREE CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS Composite materials (FRPs) have demonstrated tremendous potential in resolving widespread concrete deterioration. GFRP Fiberglass rebar, for example, is a modern and corrosion-free material which can be utilized as an alternative to traditional construction materials.
- 7. PROPERTIES OF FRP COMPOSITE MATERIALS WHEN APPLIED AS CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT • 100% Corrosion-resistance • High tensile strength • Lightweight • Easy to transport and install • Electromagnetic neutrality • Maintenance free • Extended service life
