GFRP Reinforcing Bars (1.0 PDH)

• Identify the basic material performance properties of GFRP reinforcing bars; how they compare to traditional steel reinforcement; and where they would be used.
• Explain where the new ACI code for GFRP reinforced concrete applies; what the limitations are for using this code; and how it relates to other codes and standards from ACI, ASTM, and ICC.
• Interpret the code requirements as it relates to the installation of GFRP bars; inspection requirements; and other general considerations for their field application.
• Understand the basic mechanics of GFRP reinforced concrete; how it compares to steel reinforced concrete; and the associated code requirements.
