Concrete structures with design errors and poor
construction materials can be rehabilitated with
fiberglass reinforcement.
01
Fiberglass reinforcement bars are used to remove
the inadequate factors of safety and to align the
safety requirements.
REHABILITATION APPLICATINS OF GFRP BARS
02
Structures which degrade in severe marine and
industrial environment can be restored in terms
of strength and load capacity.
03
Fiberglass bars is probably the best
rehabilitation material for buildings that are
damaged by fire and other natural occurrences
like earthquakes.
