The Alternative
Rebar
Reinforcing steel is a steel wire rod used to reinforce
concrete slabs. The product is positioned below the surface before the cement
to smooth the surface. Reinforcing steel is extremely expensive, but can
corrode over time if exposed. All of cement structure, regardless of size, must
be strengthened to be stable. Alternatives to the standard frame include the
replacement of plastic, corrosion of reinforcing steel and the direct use of
alternatives.
Plastic options
Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) are a relatively new
product. Technical information on the classic product, but the armor is made of
steel industries plastic composite and plastic using a fiber different and more
power and flexibility of the product. The use of plastics and fibers to help
prevent corrosion damage occurs because of the mild steel and concrete halls
around the country. Costs are slightly higher, but the long-term benefits of
promoting a more stable and durable construction.
Corrosion-resistant
steel
Steel is stronger and more robust than most other
replacement options rebar. The disadvantage of steel is the chemical reaction
with salts in the soil and concrete. The resulting corrosion reduces the
quality of the concrete slab. Reinforcing steel in concrete can thin panels,
but corrosion makes thinner plaques more prone to cracking and damage. Modern
technology has developed steel alloy that combines the strength of steel with
high resistance to corrosion or rust. Stainless Steel offers this level of
protection, but it was prohibitively expensive for use as concrete
reinforcement.
Other options
Metal grid ranges from chicken wire fencing. Each wire
grid that you can have around can be used in significant support from the
concrete. Treated metal fencing works well as a reinforcement for the concrete
tiles of small size. Aggregates are stones and rocks are used as filler
material in the concrete slab. Instead of blindly dumping stones in the mold of
cement and then pour the concrete on top, adding large pieces of stones or
pebbles are mixed before pouring the concrete allows for greater stability in
the long run.
