GFRP DOWELL BARS

GRPF DOWELL BARS

Dura Composite GFRP Dowel Bars serve as load transfer mechanisms between joints within concrete slabs. They establish a mechanical linkage between slabs while accommodating horizontal expansion and contraction of the concrete itself. This feature reduces deflection at joints and minimizes stress on the slabs. Unlike steel dowel bars prone to corrosion, Dura Composite  Glass Fibre Dowel Bars are corrosion-resistant, ensuring longevity and meeting shear capacity needs. Their lower stiffness compared to steel counterparts may also diminish fatigue stresses in surrounding concrete. Additionally, these bars are electromagnetically transparent, making them suitable for high-speed toll collection areas near inductance sensors.

Beyond Materials Dura Composite  is an emerging Indian  manufacturer of GFRP dowel bars, committed to meeting your specifications and quality standards. Operating from our facility in Queensland, we supply our GFRP products across India.

WHY NEOBARS ?

NEOBARS (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars is a high tensile strength alternative to steel reinforcement. Made from fibers like fiberglass or carbon fiber combined with a polymer resin matrix.

Whole of Life Savings

NEOBAR rebar has a 100 year design life cycle. Zero maintenance costs.

High Tensile Strength

Twice the strength of steel.

Corrosion Resistant

Exceptional resistance to water and salinity. Does not rust, leach or cause concrete cancer.

Highly Chemical Resistant

Exceptionally resistant to a range of chemicals.

Lightweight

FRP rebar is ¼ the weight of steel.

Highly Durable

Over 100 years retention of strength and modulus in high pH environments.

Low Environmental Impact

Consumes approximately 85% the embodied energy of steel.

Non-electromagnetic

Non-conductive and electro-magnetically neutral.

Non-Magnetic

No interference with sensitive equipment.

Easy to cut and install

Cuts easily using standard cutting tools. Faster to work with on-site. Bends delivered ready to place.

Low Thermal Conductivity

Maintains good thermal insulation values. Promotes energy efficiency in buildings.

No Thermal Cycling Impact

Thermal expansion coefficient closer to concrete than steel. Ideal for environments with extreme temperature cycles.
