NEx Webinar Series: Recent Advances in V-ROD’s Specifications and Projects and Canadian Code Updates for GFRP Bars

May 21, 2025 to May 21, 2025

Starting Time:   1:00PM EST

End Time:   2:00PM EST

Sponsor(s): ACI, NEx

Description:
Backed by 30 years of V-ROD manufacturing evolution in the GFRP industry, this webinar discusses the latest advances in GFRP-reinforced concrete. The material section contrasts recent developments in the material qualification with ASTM D7957, ASTM D8505, and CSA S807-19 thresholds, underscoring the extra capacity available for durability driven designs. Examples of recent field applications of V-ROD GFRP bars in various types of concrete infrastructure are highlighted. The talk then unpacks the latest Canadian code activity: the new CHBDC S6-25 draft provision and application-specific standards CSA S900.2 and CSA S413. Their rational and design ramifications, highlighting the recently published studies, are explained. Finally, unresolved research gaps (fire-related assemblies, seismic designs, etc.) are discussed.
