Objective
The project aims to develop a novel process route to fabricate curved non-ferrousrebars for reinforcing concrete. These materials are highly durable and enable the structural engineer to optimize concrete units without suffering the weight penalties associated with protecting reinforcing steel from corrosion. Their application can typically reduce the weight of precast components by 25% and make handling and installation significantly easier and safer. The purpose of this research is to investigate appropriate raw materials and process routes that enable cost effective and durable curved non-ferrous rebars to be fabricated. Through carrying out the proposed R&D the European SME's will become world leaders in this technology and its application. Several precast products will be researched to make use of the benefits offered by the new rebars. Optimized reinforcement will be fabricated and units cast for structural and durability analysis. Prototype manufacturing facilities will be established and design guidance and standards developed to ensure the application and dissemination of the new technology.
