Issues with TMT Bar
Here are some common issues faced with TMT bars:
Corrosion
TMT bars are susceptible to corrosion when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saline environments. Corrosion can weaken the bars and lead to structural integrity issues over time.
Increasing Cost
The cost of TMT bars has been subject to fluctuations due to factors like raw material prices, transportation costs, and market demand. This volatility can impact project budgets and overall construction expenses.
Scrap Generation
During construction, TMT bars may require cutting and bending to fit specific structural requirements, leading to scrap generation. The disposal of this scrap can be a concern and add to waste management challenges.
Cutting of Opening in Concrete Structures
Incorporating openings, such as doorways or windows, in concrete structures with TMT bars can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. Special tools and techniques are often required for precise cutting, adding to construction complexity.
Labour Intensive
Handling and installing TMT bars can be labor-intensive, especially in large-scale construction projects. The bending, cutting, and placement of bars demand skilled labor and may increase construction timeframes.
TMT bar theft is a major industry issue, with losses reported up to 30%.
Vulnerable during transit due to high value and unsecured routes, these bars are also targeted at construction sites lacking proper storage and security. Most stolen bars are resold in the black market, leading to significant financial loss.
Advantages of GFRP Bent Elements
Stronger than Steel
Flujo Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is considered to be significantly stronger than conventional materials like steel in certain aspects due to its unique composition and properties.
Upto 80% Lighter than TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP rebars, mesh, and bent elements are custom-made to precise dimensions, reducing waste and minimizing rebar scraps during construction.
Upto 30% Savings as Compared to TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP rebars can offer cost savings of up to 30% when compared to traditional TMT bars, making them a cost-effective alternative.
No Theft in Transit / Site of TMT Bars
As Flujo GFRP Rebars have specific application and no resale value in the open market, they are not prone to theft of TMT bars during transit or theft at site. This will further help reduce project costs by lacs of rs.
Saving in Overlapping Cost of TMT Bars
Flujo GFRP elements do not require overlapping as traditional TMT bars do, resulting in cost savings on materials and labor.
Reduction of Rebar Scraps
Flujo GFRP rebars, mesh, and bent elements are custom-made to precise dimensions, reducing waste and minimizing rebar scraps during construction.
Rust Proof
Unlike steel bars, Flujo GFRP rebars are rust-proof, ensuring a longer lifespan and minimizing maintenance needs.
Highly Chemical Resistant
Flujo GFRP is highly resistant to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for use in aggressive environments or marine structures
20 Times the Fatigue Resistance of steel
Flujo GFRP has 20 times the fatigue resistance of steel, making GFRP more durable under cyclic loading-420, 684 cycles for GRP compare to 23,162 cycles for steel.
No Problem with Tunnel construction
Flujo GFRP’s non-conductive and corrosion-resistant properties make it well-stuited for tunnel construction, where such characteristics are crucial.
