The Application of BFRP Rebar in Highway Infrastructure

Rebar made from Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer has less than 74%the carbon footprint of steel

THE APPLICATION OF BFRP REBAR IN HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

The significance of BFRP construction materials rises sharply since BFRP is the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and underperforming concrete infrastructure.


The current highway infrastructure is facing a growing deterioration problem, costing governments billions of dollars in rehabilitation costs.

There are many factors that damage the integrity of highways and bridges, including, for example, the use of substandard concrete reinforcement, heavy loads, short-term maintenance practices, rebar corrosion, and severe environmental conditions.

Materials such as steel bars cannot endure extreme environments and high traffic volumes and concrete deterioration simply becomes inevitable.

Taking into account the need for more sustainable construction materials, the significance of BFRP construction materials rises sharply since BFRP is the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and underperforming concrete infrastructure. Basalt fiber composites enhance the strength and performance of the existing highway infrastructure situated in harsh environments which could be the top reason why the original structures deteriorated.


Following are some of the advantages of using BFRP Rebar in rehabilitating highways and other concrete infrastructures:


1- High strength-to-weight ratio.
2- Excellent fatigue resistance.
3- Corrosion resistance.
4- Reduced overall cycle costs.
5- Ease of installation.
6- Time-effective repair and construction process.
