THE APPLICATION OF BFRP REBAR IN HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

The significance of BFRP   construction materials   rises sharply since BFRP is  the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and under performing concrete infrastructure. The current highway infrastructure is facing a growing deterioration  problem, costing governments billions of dollars in rehabilitation costs. There are many factors that damage the integrity of highways and bridges, including, for example, the use of substandard concrete reinforcement,  heavy loads, short-term maintenance practices, rebar corrosion, and severe  environmental conditions. Materials such as steel bars cannot endure extreme environments and  high traffic volumes and concrete deterioration simply becomes inevitable. Taking into account the need for more sustainable construction materials,  the significance of BFRP construction materials rises sharply since BFRP is the ideal material for the rehabilitation of degraded and underperforming concrete infrastruc...
