V-ROD 46* Fiberglass Rebar (GFRP) - GPA Structural
SKU:
Rebar is commonly used in construction projects such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and highways, and is typically made from carbon steel with a ridged surface that helps to anchor it firmly into the concrete.
Pricing for bulk orders and partial orders are available.
20' lengths are standard but longer lengths can be customized
Features and Benefits
-
V-Rod is 2-1/2 times stronger than Grad 60 steel
-
V-Rod in most cases because of the tensile strength can be can be reduced, example if the job calls for #5 steel rebar, we can reduce to #4 GFRP
-
V-Rod offers engineering at no extra cost (Convert your steel job to GFRP)
-
V-Rod in most cases your able to reduce your concrete coverage by 10% (the extra coverage is only to protect the steel)
-
V-Rod is 35% fast to install because it weighs a fraction of steel.
-
V-Rod is products is manufactured with Fiberglass and Resin, it is not a volatile in the market like steel pricing
-
V-Rod offers a 150 year life on our products or more
-
V-Rod if you take out the steel you can also use seawater in the concrete mix. (Fresh water not needed)
- V-Rod one truckload of V-Rod equals 6 trucks of steel (save money on transportation)
Rebar (short for "reinforcing bar") is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures. Its purpose is to provide added strength and stability to concrete structures, particularly in areas where the concrete is subjected to tensile forces, which it is not strong enough to withstand on its own.
The size and spacing of the rebar used in a particular project depend on the design specifications and the intended use of the structure.
Rebar is typically available in lengths ranging from 6 to 18 meters (20 to 60 feet) and diameters ranging from 6 to 50 millimeters (0.25 to 2 inches). It is usually sold in bundles, with the number of bars per bundle and the weight of each bundle varying depending on the size and length of the rebar.
A FUTURE-ORIENTED SOLUTION YOU CAN TRUST
V-ROD is the reinforcing solution of the future. Trust in this sustainable rebar is shown by its qualification and presence in the main construction codes, as well as its adoption in the standards of authorities of many Canadian provinces, American states, and metropolitan cities around the world.
