Tensar presents the webinar Steel Rebar vs GFRP: Why Steel Still Reigns Supreme for Reinforced Concrete on November 21, 2024, at 1 p.m. EDT. Attendees are eligible to earn 1 PDH credit and you can register here.
The webinar will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the corrosion resistant reinforcement available on the market. It will also give an overview of the mechanical properties and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars (ASTM D8505) compared to that of Low Carbon Chromium Steel (ASTM A1035) and Continuous Galvanized Bars (ASTM A1094). Then we’ll discuss how these solutions can benefit your projects including:
Proven strength, longevity and reliability
Enhanced design flexibility
Environmental and cost advantages
Finally, we will review different design examples including a bridge deck design that showcases different alternatives, highlighting the design parameters, codes and cost analysis.
