The use of steel can cause significant problems when it begins to deteriorate due to corrosion from weathering and exposure to chemicals. However, the use of GFRP corrugated rebar as reinforcement for structures provides an economical, safe and environmentally sustainable solution. It has a longer service life than steel, does not rust and is more economical.
