GFRP Rebars vs. TMT Steel
Engineering evaluation comparing AxBAR GFRP Rebars against conventional TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) steel reinforcement bars.
| Engineering Property | GFRP Rebars | TMT Steel Bars |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | ✓ 100% Corrosion Proof | High Corrosion Risk |
| Weight (Density) | Lightweight (1.9 g/cm³) | Heavy (7.85 g/cm³) |
| Strength-to-Weight Ratio | Exceptionally High | Moderate |
| Electrical Conductivity | 100% Non-Conductive | Highly Conductive |
| Chemical Resistance | Superior (Acids/Alkalis) | Poor |
| Maintenance Requirement | Zero Maintenance | Frequent Painting & Coating |
| Design Service Life | 50 to 100+ Years | 15 - 25 Years (Corrosive) |
| Lifecycle Cost (LCC) | Lowest Overall LCC | High (Repairs) |
| Sustainability | Low Carbon Footprint | High CO₂ Production |
