Road Stab Presentation FDR PDF

This document discusses R-Bar, an alternative to steel reinforcement bars for concrete structures using glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials. R-Bar offers advantages over steel such as being non-corrosive, lighter weight, and non-conductive. Guidelines and codes for using R-Bar internationally and examples of infrastructure projects utilizing R-Bar are also presented.

R-Bar
An Alternative Technology of
Reinforcement
R-Bar
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials
have emerged as an alternative material for
producing reinforcing bars for concrete
structures. GFRP reinforcing bars offer
advantages over steel reinforcement due to
their noncorrosive nature and nonconductive
behavior. Due to other differences in the
physical and mechanical behavior of GFRP
materials as opposed to steel.
Advantages
• Non corrosive
• 7 times lighter than steel
• 3 times higher tensile strength than steel
• Easy to cut
• Easy to transport and handle
• Non conductor of heat and electricity
• Lesser dead weight of structure
• Chemical resistant
Restrictions
• Bent Bars & Stirrups
Most industry standard bent shapes are available in
R-Bar with some exceptions as noted herewith.
Standard shape codes are used.
All bends must be made at the factory. Field
bending of FRP bars is not possible. This is because
the bent bars must be formed in the factory
while the thermo-set resin is uncured. Once the
resin is cured, the process cannot be reversed. We
advise that you work closely with the factory to
implement the most economical detailing of
Availability of guidelines and
recommendations
Corrosion of internal reinforcing steel is one of the chief
causes of failure of concrete structures. Inevitably
concrete will crack, creating a direct avenue for
chlorides to begin oxidizing the steel rebar. Fiber
Reinforced Polymers (FRP’s) are a proven and
successful alternative reinforcing that will give
structures a longer service life. A complete spectrum of
authoritative consensus design guides, test methods,
material and construction standards, and qualification
procedures are available for different types of
structures.
Codes Internationally
• AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Guide Specifications for GFRP-Reinforced
Concrete Bridge Decks and Traffic Railings, First Edition.
– Published in November 2009, this document offers authoritative design
guidance to the bridge design community in safely adopting FRP bars in bridge
decks and railings.
• CSA S-806 – Canadian Code
– “Design and Construction of Building Components withFibre-Reinforced
Polymers”.
• CSA S-6 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code
– Widespread adoption of GFRP bars in Canadian bridge structures is being made
possible by this important document.
• ACI 440.1R “Guide for the Design and Construction of Structural Concrete
Reinforced with FRP Bars”
– The American Concrete Institute 440 guide is a mature and living document
that as undergone a number of revisions since its first publication in 2001.
Companion documents to the 440.1R design guide include the ACI 440.3R
“Guide Test Methods for FRP’s for Reinforcing or Strengthening Concrete
Structures” which is intended as an interim document superseded by new
ASTM test methods as they become available.
International Studies
• FIB Task Group 9.3 – bulletin 40 “FRP Reinforcement
in RC Structures”
– In Europe, the Federation Internationale du Beton FIB Task
Group 9.3 has published a technical report "Bulletin
40", which is a "state of the art" of FRP reinforcement in
RC structures. Work is under way on provisions for FRPbars
in EuroCode 2 format. Norway and Italy have published
internal design codes for the use of FRP bars.
• 4th Structural Specialty Conference of the Canadian
Society for Civil engineering Montréal. 2002
– Field application of FRP composite bars as reinforcement
for bridges and decks.
