Concrete Logic Podcast

In episode #017 of the Concrete Logic Podcast, I sit down with Pat Morrissey of ConcSpec Associates, Inc and Al Ericson, a technical consultant for AIT. We discuss glass fiber rebar and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites macrofiber. These glass fiber products are an alternative to traditional steel rebar and reinforcement. If water infiltrates concrete through cracks and reaches the rebar, this can cause the rebar to rust which is like giving concrete cancer. Glass fiber rebar does not rust like steel so is not impacted by water infiltration.

Listen to this podcast and see if you think glass fiber reinforcement is a feasible alternative to reinforcing steel.
