What Is Rebar?
Rebar is short for reinforcing bar, which is a reinforcing rod used to strengthen concrete structures. Rebar functions to increase the tensile strength of concrete so that the structure becomes stronger, more stable, and able to withstand loads. Rebar is widely used in various construction projects, ranging from buildings, roads, and bridges to industrial infrastructure.
Function of Rebar in Construction
Basically, concrete has high compressive strength but is weak in tension. This is where the role of rebar becomes very important. With the presence of rebar, concrete is able to withstand tensile loads and prevent cracking or structural damage in the long term.
FRP Rebar as a Modern Alternative
In addition to steel rebar, FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) rebar is now available as a more modern alternative. FRP rebar has key advantages such as corrosion resistance, lighter weight, and non-conductivity. This makes FRP rebar highly suitable for use in humid environments, areas exposed to chemicals, and projects that require high durability.
Advantages of FRP Rebar
FRP rebar does not rust easily, resulting in a longer service life and minimal maintenance. In addition, FRP material helps reduce structural load and increases installation efficiency on site. These advantages make FRP rebar widely used in industrial projects, infrastructure, and specialized buildings.
In addition to its durability and long service life, FRP rebar also offers significant advantages over steel rebar in terms of logistics efficiency and shipping costs. The much lighter weight of FRP rebar makes transportation easier, faster, and more cost-effective, especially for long-distance delivery or to project sites that are difficult to access. Unlike heavy steel rebar, which requires high transportation costs, FRP rebar can significantly reduce shipping loads, making it more economical overall.
Furthermore, because it does not corrode, FRP rebar does not require special treatment during storage and transportation, which further reduces operational costs and the risk of material damage before use on site.
