Standards for Non-Metallic Reinforcing Bars and Their Use in Concrete Structures
REQUEST A CALLBACKThe scope of application of the Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic Bars has been reflected in the rules and standards approved at the legislative level. When carrying out work related to the design, production, installation and operation, manufacturers and consumers shall follow the standard rules applicable in their country. Today, there is a certain regulatory framework regarding the standards of non-metallic reinforcing bars and their use in concrete structures. This is a very significant step for the development of this filed in the construction industry.
