FGC Rebars in Construnction

FGC Rebars, made from fiberglass composites, provide a corrosion-resistant solution for construction, especially in harsh environments. They are lighter and can be used in various structural applications, including footings, beams, and roof slabs, often in combination with TMT bars. FGC rebars offer advantages such as lower weight, rust resistance, and potential cost savings in labor and transport.

FGC REBARS

Enter Fiberglass Rebar:


Fiberglass Composites rebar, also
known as FGC (Fiber Glass
composite) rebar, offers a solution
to the corrosion problem. Made
from high-strength glass fibers
embedded in a Epoxy resin matrix,
fiberglass rebar is immune to rust
and corrosion. This makes it ideal
for use in marine environments,
chemical plants, and other
corrosive settings.
Where we can use FGC rebars in construction

 Footing
 Earth Beam
 Plinth Beam
 Lintel Beam
 Chajja
 Sun shade
 Laft
 Roofing(Slab)(Here we can use as Hybrid like for
longer span (main bars) we can use TMT bars
and for shorter span(distribution bars) we can
use FGC rebar's.
How can we use in Footing

• Its lighter in weight only one


person can lift footing mat.
• FGC footing mat we need to bind
with column bars.
We can tie rebar's using we can cut FGC rebar's using
normal binding wire. normal cutting machine.
Concreting work for footing using FGC rebar's
FGC rebars using in Plinth beam

Here in Plinth Beam we are using FGC rebar's as main


bars and for stirrups we are using TMT bars.
FGC rebar's using in Roof slab

Here we need to use


like for Main bars
TMT bars and for
Distribution bars as
FGC rebar's.
