Report of Test (ROT) on composite rebar
Construction industries are constantly developing alternative and innovative materials that can be used as reinforcement in construction to enhance the strength and durability of concrete structures. One of the most promising materials is composite rebar. Composite rebar is gaining popularity due to its higher strength-to-weight ratio and superior resistance to corrosion, which makes it an excellent replacement for traditional steel.
Product Quality Control
Composite Group Chelyabinsk, a leading manufacturing company that specializes in producing exceptional quality composite rebar, has a unique method of ensuring the quality of their finished products. The manufacturing process of the composite rebar involves using roving which plays a critical role in determining the tearing properties of the products. The company prioritizes the testing of these properties before utilizing any raw materials in the production process. The quality control does not stop there as the raw materials are further assessed by an on-site laboratory managed by MELTROC, the company’s trusted business partner. This additional inspection guarantees that only the best raw materials are used in production.
Once the raw materials have passed inspection, the manufacturing process begins. The final product undergoes another round of examination by the Quality Control Department at Composite Group Chelyabinsk, who ensure the external characteristics of the product meets the company’s high standards. This methodical approach to quality control underscores the company’s commitment to delivering a superior product to the metal rebar offering currently in the market. By prioritizing the quality of their composite rebar, Composite Group Chelyabinsk has cemented their position as a top manufacturing company in the industry.
At our research laboratory, we conducted a report on test (ROT) to examine the mechanical properties of composite rebar in tension and bending loads. The composite rebar was created using pultruded glass fibers and a vinyl ester resin matrix, which resulted in an incredibly robust and sturdy material.
In our testing, we conducted tensile tests using a universal testing machine that revealed the composite rebar’s high tensile strength of 1200 MPa, indicating that it can withstand extensive stress. Moreover, the bending tests indicated excellent flexural performance with a maximum load capacity of 18 kN and a deflection of 7 mm. Furthermore, we submerged the composite rebar in a saltwater solution for 30 days and found that it did not exhibit any signs of corrosion.
Based on our findings, composite rebar is an ideal and reliable alternative reinforcement option for concrete structures, particularly where weight reduction or exposure to aggressive environments is desired.
