THE APPLICATION OF BFRP REBAR IN HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

 The significance of BFRP construction materials rises sharply since BFRP is the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and underperforming concrete infrastructure.

The current highway infrastructure is facing a growing deterioration problem, costing governments billions of dollars in rehabilitation cost.

There are many factors that damage the integrity of highways and bridges, including, for example, the use of substandard concrete reinforcement, heavy loads, short-term maintenance practices, rebar corrosion, and severe environmental conditions.
Materials such as steel bars cannot endure the extreme environments and high traffic volumes and the concrete deterioration simply becomes inevitable.
Taking into account the need for more sustainable construction materials, the significance of BFRP construction materials rises sharply since BFRP is the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and underperforming concrete infrastructure. Basalt fiber composites enhance the strength and performance of the existing highway infrastructure situated in the harsh environment that could be the top reason why the original structures deteriorated.
Following are some of the advantages of using BFRP Rebar in rehabilitating highways and other concrete infrastructures:
1- High strength-to-weight ratio.
2- Excellent fatigue resistance.
3- Corrosion-resistance.
4- Reduced overall cycle-costs.
5- Ease of installation.
6- Time-effective repair and construction process.

TUNNELS ARE BEST BUILT WITH BFRP REBAR

  Why should tunnels and bridges be constructed with BFRP Rebar? The application of Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) reinforcement  in concrete structures, has encountered increasing interest worldwide,  for several applications in civil engineering. The main advantages of the BFRP material are the lightweight,  the high  tensile strength and non-corrosive properties. In underground structures mechanically excavated by means of a tunnel  boring machine (TBM), the lining is composed of precast elements,  placed  by the TBM during the excavation process and used as  reaction elements  during the advancing phase The application of BFRP reinforcement as a substitute for steel rebars in the  precast segments of tunnel lining could represent a suitable solution to the  challenges of underground construction in terms of maintenance cost and  durability. Furthermore, the use of this non-corrosive reinforcement in the tunnel...

WHY CHOOSING BASALT FIBER REBAR FOR CONCRETE INFRASTRUCTURE?

Image
Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar (BFRP Rebar) is an outstanding product for concrete reinforcement that holds good promise for the construction industry. Steel is susceptible to corrosion because it contains carbon atoms. The positively charged electrons attract the oxygen molecules in the air. In the presence of oxygen, steel becomes oxidized and rust.  Basalt Fiber  Reinforced Polymer Rebar is produced from basalt fibers, the fibers are twisted, wound, and treated with a polymer to produce the reinforcement rebar. The surface is then profiled and sanded to produce a better adhesion in concrete. WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT STAND OUT IN THE CONSTRUCTION MARKET? 1- Corrosion resistance is a good reason to consider using BFRP Rebar. It has a higher resistance to moisture, chemicals, and heat than steel fibers. Basalt is resistant to corrosive environments, has much better temperature tolerance, better resistance to acid and alkali damage, and does not absorb water through the c...
