Most common questions about G-BAR, its uses, and benefits.
How does GFRP compare to steel in strength?
GFRP offers high tensile strength (often 2–3× steel’s yield on a weight basis) with elastic behavior. It does not plastically yield; design follows ACI 440.11.
Is GFRP rebar code-compliant in the U.S.?
Yes. Materials conform to ASTM D7957 and structural design is covered by ACI 440.11-22. ICC-ES AC454 reports are often used for approvals.
Can I bend GFRP on site?
No. GFRP should be factory-bent to specified radii. Use laps/couplers per ACI 440.11. Cut with abrasive/diamond only.
Does GFRP need cover?
Yes—for bond, fire, and durability of the concrete matrix (not for corrosion protection).
Where is ROI fastest?
Marine/coastal, bridge decks, water/wastewater, and de-icing salt regions.
