A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

The Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar industry is about thirty years old. The industry started by molding aramid and carbon fibers with various thermoset resins, and then expanded to glass fibers ...

Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...
