In contemporary world, along with the traditional steel rebar non-metallic composite basalt rebar is beginning to be more and more widely used. A distinctive feature of this kind of rebar is high corrosion resistance to aggressive environments, namely to chloride salts, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide gases,nitrogen oxide, etc. This feature enables the substantial increase in the overhaul period in comparison to ferroconcrete structures. Basalt composite rebar has a low thermal conductivity ratio, is dielectric, radiolucent, and magnet inactive. Consequently, in many cases it insures antimagnetic and dielectric characteristics of constructions.
A total of all of the above mentioned characteristics as well as reinforcement sufficient properties of durability and deformation and the ability to provide the necessary cohesion with concrete, have determined the most efficient fields of application for basalt composite rebar, which are: sea and port structures, highways, foundations/basements, engineering network constructions, supports for electric power lines, heat conserving walling structures.
