GatorBar Grip is the latest generation of composite rebar offering zero slivers and increased bond strength. GatorBar is a glass fiber reinforced composite rebar (GFRP), that is 100% made in the U ...

The model inputs critical parameters—including grout tensile strength, rebar ultimate strength, and slip displacement—and outputs corresponding bond stress, enabling full-cycle curve prediction.

Earthquake engineer pioneered the use of high-strength steel fiber as a much-needed rebar decongestant in shear-wall link beams. If he hadn’t taken a job in a Seattle design office after college ...
