Glass Fibre Reinforcement Bar & Anchors
Glass Fibre Reinforcement Bar & Anchors
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass (GFRP), carbon (CFRP), or aramid (AFRP). The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester or polyester thermosetting resin. While the fibers carry the load, the resin transfers stress between reinforcing fibers and protects fibers from mechanical and environmental damage.
The composite structure of FRP allows very unique anisotropic mechanical properties: strong tensile strength along the fibers, low transversal resistance, and constant elasticity. In addition, FRP is not sensitive to corrosion, GFRP does not conduce electrical and magnetic fields.

Main advantages of FRP
There are several advantages of using FRP, the most important are the following:
- 1. Impervious to corrosion
- 2. ¼ weight of steel
- 3. 100 to 400% strength of steel
- 4. Low modulus
- 5. Low transversal resistance and ease to break, therefore possibility to use as temporary anchors or in the industry.
