  • Abstract:
  • Glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar’s are those materials made from the glass fibers in a polymeric matrix. The use of the glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar’s in modern world has proved to be advantageous in the civil infrastructures due to its corrosive resistant nature. Not only to this advantage, the GFRP rebar’s are light in weight and can be transported and handled easily with high factor of safety. The other mechanical characteristics of GFRP rebar’s such as non-conductive to electricity and heat makes them an ideal choice for specific infrastructures like hospitals and industries. Because they serve to be long lasting rebar’s than steel rebar’s they are considered to be cost effective product as not much maintenance is required. In this study the steel rebar’s and GFRP rebar’s are placed as reinforcement in the concrete cement and is compared with respect to the flexural property with each other for the feasibility of reinforcement.
