CERTIFICATIONS MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION Basalt Rebar ACI Codes To be allowed by your local building inspector department to use basalt rebar reference the various ACI codes that apply. Here is the statement that applies to Basalt rebar… Basalt FRP Rebar is used as per ACI 440.1R-06. The construction use is dictated by code 440.6-08. It is specified by 440.5-08 and tested according to ASTM D7205 and several other test methods. ASTM testing of Basalt FRP rebar shows that Basalt FRP rebar easily meets the performance requirements of ACI 440.6-08. Also applicable to Basalt rebar is ACI 440R-07 Report on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures. The use of Basalt rebar came along after ACI 440.6-08 was published so the Basalt version of FRP was not specifically called out in that document. However, ACI 440R-07 (a later document) does specifically call out Basalt rebar as an FRP rebar. It says “Fibers commonly used to make FRP bars are glass, carbon, and aramid. Recently, continuous Basalt fibers have become commercially available as an alternative to glass fibers.” It talks about Basalt FRP rebar all through the document and includes it in its various tables, but the key point is that it is classed as FRP. Basalt FRP rebar is approved as natural fiberglass, meeting the certification specifications of ACI 440.6-08 and signed off as fiberglass FRP rebar. In doing so, the job will simply be overbuilt because the physicals of Basalt rebar are higher than fiberglass, falling between fiberglass and carbon fiber. Basalt rebar can be placed to meet code requirements by using the calculations and installation guidelines for fiberglass reinforcement of concrete as defined in ACI 440.6-08. Recommendations for maximum deflection and shear of concrete elements reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar’s are presented in ACI 440.1R-06 (2006) “Guide for the Design and Construction of Structural Concrete Reinforced with FRP Bars”. Basalt rebar has been tested at various universities and approved by the American Concrete Institute under ACI 440-10. Basalt rebar is used according to ACI 440. 1R-06. The construction use is dictated by code 440.6-08. It is specified by 440.5-08 and tested according to ASTM D7205 and several other testing methods. ISO 9001: Basalt rebar has been tested by several methods and approved by ISO 9001. In the ACI documentation, the term FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer ) includes Basalt based FRP. The term BFRP is often used instead of saying Basalt Rebar. Existing Basalt Rebar specifications and testing requirements. USA ACI 440.3R-4: Guide for the test methods for fiber reinforced polymers for reinforcing or strengthening concrete structures. Published by the American Concrete Institute.

Basalt Fiber Composite Rebar (BFRP) Significantly LOWER COSTS in construction and life cycle STABLE PRICING No buy-ups required to secure best pricing compared to steel, which fluctuates. GIVE ME A QUOTE DURABLE GREEN Made from VOLCANIC ROCK , it has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to concrete. This homogenious behaviour REDUCES CRACKING effects during extreme temperature changes. Very ECO-FRIENDLY , BFRP has a manufacturing CO2 footprint process of 10:1 compared to steel. Transportation and CO2 is cut as volume increases four times per trip due to the rebar's light weight. OTHER DATA ON BASALT COMPOSITE REBAR Basalt rebar is engineered to last for over 100 years and will never rust or require long term maintenance. Unlike steel, Basalt Rebar is completely impervious to attacks from alkali, chemicals or water. As Basalt Rebar allows for the construction of thinner and lighter panels and decks, it also reduces spacing between rods, concrete and surface. Basalt rebar does not conduct electricity or induce current when exposed to RF energy, therefore, making it ideal for MRI or data facilities. Basalt rebar is ideal for marine reinforcement applications, water treatment stations, and chemical plants where high levels of corrosion are a concern.
