High Strength Frp / Grp Fiberglass Round Rod Light Weight
FRP Strength Member For Fiber Optical Cables
The use of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) members has become a popular and effective method for reinforcing and strengthening existing buildings. This is especially useful for structures that are vulnerable to seismic activity or have undergone deterioration over time due to aging or corrosion. By incorporating FRP members into the existing structure, it is possible to increase the load-carrying capacity of the building and enhance its overall structural performance.
Moreover, the use of FRP members can also help to extend the service life of these buildings. This is because FRP materials are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, which means that they can withstand harsh environmental conditions and maintain their structural integrity over a long period of time. Additionally, FRP members are lightweight and easy to install, which makes them a cost-effective solution for building owners who want to improve the strength and durability of their structures without incurring significant expenses.
In summary, the use of FRP members is a practical and efficient way to reinforce and strengthen existing buildings. It can help to mitigate the effects of seismic activity or deterioration due to aging or corrosion, extend the service life of the building, and improve its overall structural performance.
Properties of Non-metallic FRP Rod Strength Member
A. High strength
FRP is stronger than structural steel on a pound-for pound basis.
B. Light weight
FRP is 20-25% the weight of steel and 70% the weight of aluminum. FRP are easily transported, handled and lifted into place.
C. Anti-corrosion
FRP will not rot and are impervious to a broad range of corrosive elements. This feature makes FRP a natural selection for indoor or outdoor structures in corrosive environments.
D. Electro-magnetic transparency
FRP are transparent to radio waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic.
E. Non-conductive
FRP has low thermal/ electrical conductivity.
F. Dimensional stability
The coefficient of thermal expansion of FRP is slightly less than steel and significantly less than aluminum.
- High tensile strength, high modulus, low thermal conductivity, low elongation, low expansion, and wide temperature range;
- Non-metallic materials are not sensitive to electric shock, and are suitable for areas with multiple lightning and rainy weather conditions;
- Chemical resistance, compared with the metal core, the GFRP reinforcing core does not affect the fiber transmission index
- The fiber optic cable using the GFRP reinforcing core can be installed next to the power line and the power supply device, and is not interfered by the induced current generated by the power line or the power supply device;
- Smooth surface is , stable size, easy to process and lay, and the application range is wide.
