GFRP rebar
ACI publishes code requirements for GFRP rebar
GFRP reinforcement has been used as an alternative to steel reinforcement for decades due to its non-corrosive, non-corrosive, and lightweight properties.
According to ACI, the code marks an important milestone in this technology, with GFRP reinforced concrete beams, one-way and two-way slabs,
Provides provisions for columns, walls, connections, and basic design in accordance with ACI 318-19.
