Milliken Infrastructure Solutions

RenewWrap® fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening system is an important strengthening technique in every engineer’s toolbox for concrete and masonry structures due to its high strength, stiffness and corrosion-resistant properties. This system is externally bonded to or wrapped around existing concrete or steel members to increase load capacity, correct design or construction errors, restore strength to deteriorated structures, comply with more-stringent building codes or retrofit for extraordinary events such as earthquakes.

RenewWrap FRPs come in many strengthening forms:

• Carbon-fiber bars for near-surface-mounted applications

• Unidirectional fiber fabrics

• Multi-directional fabrics

• Strand sheets

• CFRP anchors

• All associated resins

MMFX Technologies,
A Commercial Metals Company

Chr¯omX® rebar provides high-strength concrete reinforcing steel products with varying levels of corrosion resistance. Designers utilize the high strength efficiencies and best match the corrosion-protection requirements of the structure to meet the targeted service life. Employing the high strength of Chr¯omX rebar (Grades 100 and 120), designers reduce construction costs, shorten build times, resolve rebar congestion issues, improve site safety and advance sustainability. Building codes and design guides supporting high-strength designs are available through the ACI, ICC and AASTHO. Chr¯omX rebar’s uncoated corrosion resistance is derived from the steel’s chemistry and microstructure rather than relying on fragile coatings, resulting in a bar that can be handled and fabricated like conventional rebar, without the risk of damage, repair or inspection challenges.
