Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Substantial damage occurs time and again in concrete structures because the reinforcing steel rusts, thereby distends, and, as a result, undermines the concrete microstructure. In many of these cases, Schöck ComBar, a newly developed reinforcing rod made of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP), makes good sense. Both on technical and cost-effective grounds, it is a logical alternative to utilising reinforcement made from stainless steel or conventional systems for protection against corrosion (coating, cathodic corrosion protection, etc.).
