MACHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GFRP BARS
The mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer may vary depending on factors such as:
• The manufacturing process• He properties of constituent material such as
fibers, matrix, and additives • The relative proportion of matrix and fibers• Rate of curing• Fiber orientation • Quality control procedures during
manufacturing

Concrete structures with design errors and poor construction materials can be rehabilitated with fiberglass reinforcement.
Fiberglass reinforcement bars are used to remove the inadequate factors of safety and to align the safety requirements.
Structures which degrade in severe marine and industrial environment can be restored in terms of strength and load capacity.
Fiberglass bars is probably the best rehabilitation material for buildings that are damaged by fire and other natural occurrences like earthquakes.
