JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars offer a significant advantage in tensile strength compared to traditional steel rebars.

The tensile strength of TMT steel rebars typically ranges from 350 to 550 MPa, with a modulus of elasticity (E) in the range of 180-200 GPa.

In contrast, the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of FRP rebars vary depending on the type of resin used:

Epoxy Resin:

Tensile Strength: > 1000 MPa

Modulus of Elasticity: 60-70 GPa

Vinyl Ester Resin:

Tensile Strength: 800-1000 MPa

Modulus of Elasticity: 45-50 GPa

UPR (Unsaturated Polyester Resin):

Tensile Strength: 500-700 MPa

Modulus of Elasticity: 65-70 GPa

Thus, JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars exhibit higher tensile strength than traditional steel rebars, particularly when using epoxy or vinyl ester resins. However, their modulus of elasticity is generally lower, indicating different stiffness characteristics.

Tensile Load - JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars exhibit excellent tensile strength, often surpassing that of traditional steel rebars. They are particularly effective in applications where tensile stress is predominant due to their high strength-to-weight ratio.

Compressive Load - JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars are combined with other materials to ensure overall structural integrity, typically where compressive forces are significant.

Shear Strength - JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars can effectively transfer forces within concrete structures, all while maintaining the significant weight advantage of FRP over traditional steel reinforcement. This translates to a lighter overall structure without compromising on performance.

JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars perform exceptionally well in highly corrosive environments due to their non-metallic nature, which makes them immune to corrosion.

Unlike steel, they do not rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or salt, ensuring long-term durability and reduced maintenance costs in harsh conditions.

Yes, there are long-term studies demonstrating the corrosion resistance of FRP rebars. These studies have shown that FRP rebars maintain their structural integrity and strength over extended periods, even in highly corrosive environments, such as marine and industrial settings. The results confirm the superior durability and longevity of FRP rebars compared to traditional steel rebars.

Yes.

JAM Vantage® FRP offers both non-conductive and fire-resistant properties:

Non-Conductive: FRP acts as an electrical insulator. This can be beneficial in applications where electrical conductivity is undesirable, such as around electrical components or in lightning-prone areas.

Fire-Resistant: While not completely fireproof, JAM Vantage® FRP exhibits good fire resistance compared to some traditional materials. It has a low flame spread rating and does not readily contribute to fire. Additionally, FRP releases minimal smoke during combustion, making it a safer option in some building applications.

It's important to consult with local building codes and fire safety regulations to determine the suitability of JAM Vantage® FRP for your specific project. We recommend reaching out to our team for a more in-depth discussion about fire resistance considerations for your project.

Exposure to extreme temperatures can impact the rebars by reducing their tensile and compressive strength at high temperatures due to the softening of the resin matrix. At very low temperatures, they may become more brittle, affecting their flexibility. However, within typical operational ranges, they generally maintain their performance better than steel rebars.

Yes, JAM Vantage® FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars compatible with existing construction mater materials and techniques, and they can be seamlessly integrated into various construction applications.

Here's how:

These rebars are highly compatible with existing construction materials and techniques, offering a corrosion-resistant and durable alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. Their compatibility allows for easy integration into construction projects while providing the benefits of improved durability, longevity, and sustainability.

Builders, engineers, and designers can confidently incorporate our rebars into their projects, knowing they can seamlessly fit within established construction practices and achieve desired structural performance.

The expected ROI (Return on Investment) when switching to FRP rebars can vary depending on factors such as project size, construction costs, and maintenance requirements.

However, studies have shown that the long-term cost savings from using FRP rebars, including reduced maintenance and replacement costs, can result in a positive ROI over the lifespan of the structure.

The exact ROI would need to be calculated based on the specific parameters of each project.

The carbon footprint of manufacturing our rebars is significantly lower compared to steel rebars.

FRP production emits about 55% less CO2 and consumes nearly half the energy of steel production. The steel industry emits approximately 1.83 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel produced, contributing to about 7-8% of global emissions.

In contrast, FRP's lower weight also reduces transportation emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly option in terms of both production and logistics​

Yes, JAM Vantage® FRP Rebars are recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. The recycling process involves crushing the used FRP material into small pieces, which can then be used as a filler material in new FRP products or other construction materials. Recycling FRP helps reduce waste and the environmental impact of construction projects

Temperature Resistance: FRP rebars demonstrate excellent resistance to alkalis and chemicals commonly found in construction materials, ensuring long-term durability and performance of concrete structures. Additionally, they exhibit good temperature resistance, withstanding both high and low temperatures encountered in various environmental conditions.

These properties make FRP rebars a reliable choice for applications where corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and temperature stability are essential considerations.

FRP rebars are suitable for a wide range of temperatures, typically from -40°C to 200°C .They perform well in cold environments, maintaining their strength and durability.

However, at higher temperatures, their mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, may diminish. Therefore, while FRP rebars are highly effective in many situations, their use in extremely high-temperature environments should be carefully considered and potentially limited.
