Concrete Pavement: Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

Concrete Pavement: Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Fundamental

Item#: RV-10175

SME: Vincent Reynolds, P.E.

While we’re driving on them everyday, the roadways are experiencing stress. When force is applied to concrete pavement it places a certain level of stress on the concrete. It cracks, wears away, and requires costly repairs. Steel-reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) has been used since 1921 - it's time for a better way.

This 1-hour interactive online course gives you the information and the methods to improve the strength of concrete pavements using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar. You will see why concrete fails and learn a new way to prevent it. You'll be introduced to fiber reinforced polymers. With these formulas and designs you will build longer lasting, more durable roads.
Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

  • List the causes of distress that occur in CRCP
  • Explain the corrosion of steel in concrete
  • Discuss the stress handling differences between steel reinforcement and glass fiber reinforcement
  • Name the advantages and disadvantages of fiber reinforced polymers
  • Label the components in the formulas to calculate the change in thermal expansion
  • Describe design parameters of various sub-grades, course aggregates and reinforcement types
