ARC Rebar in Masonary Wall
Benefits of using ARC’s GFRP Rebar in Masonary Wall Construction
- Corrosion Resistance: ARC’s GFRP rebar is inherently resistant to corrosion and electrochemical degradation, ensuring long-term durability and structural integrity of boundary walls, even in harsh environmental conditions.
- Extended Service Life: By eliminating the risk of rust and corrosion, ARC’s GFRP rebar significantly extends the lifespan of boundary walls, minimizing maintenance requirements and costly repairs or replacements.
- Lightweight and High Strength: GFRP rebar has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it lighter than steel reinforcement while maintaining excellent tensile strength. This facilitates easier handling, reduces labor costs, and enables more efficient construction processes.
- Non-Conductive Properties: The non-conductive nature of GFRP bars eliminates the risk of stray current-induced corrosion, enhancing the durability and reliability of reinforced concrete boundary walls in areas with nearby electrical installations.
- Reduced Wall Thickness: The high tensile strength and corrosion resistance of GFRP rebar allow for the design of thinner wall sections, reducing material consumption and overall construction costs.
- Improved Constructability: GFRP rebar’s lightweight and non-corrosive properties make it easier to handle and install on-site, improving construction efficiency and reducing the risk of construction errors.
- Cost Savings: Incorporating ARC’s GFRP rebar in boundary wall construction results in substantial cost savings over the lifecycle of the structure due to reduced maintenance and repair requirements.
- Sustainable Construction: The use of ARC’s GFRP rebar aligns with environmentally conscious construction practices by reducing the carbon footprint associated with frequent repairs and replacements.
- Aesthetic Durability: The corrosion resistance of ARC’s GFRP rebar prevents unsightly rust stains and spalling, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of boundary walls over their service life.
- Design Flexibility: ARC’s GFRP rebar can be used in various boundary wall designs, including masonry walls, precast concrete walls, and cast-in-place concrete walls, offering adaptability to project-specific requirements and architectural preferences.
