Concrete Design for Sustainability using GFRP Reinforcement

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is an alternative reinforcement material that can significantly prolong the lifespan of concrete structures thanks to its exceptional corrosion-resistant properties. GFRP rebar is lighter, stronger, and electromagnetically inert than traditional steel reinforcement. This joint webinar by Altair and MST Rebar begins with a GFRP reinforcement overview, followed by a continuous concrete beam analysis and design verification example according to the ACI 440-11.22 codes for GFRP design, supported in Altair S-CONCRETE.
