Master Threads
I poured a concrete basketball court in my backyard 30 years ago. The concrete had shards of fiberglass added to it for strength.
That type of stuff has been around a longtime. A lot more expensive than traditional rebar. Used to be about 3x or more expensive. Special machines to fabricate.
They use it in critical but corrosive environment where you cannot have material breakdown for 50yr+. Nuke stuff, critical infrastructure around saltwater etc.
In 30 plus yrs I've seen that called out 2x and both were military critical installations in the SE amd that is all I can say about that comfortably.
In conditions such as saltwater which is so corrosive to rebar, most jobs would use epoxy-coayed rebar which is probably 2x more than regular steel rebar. Id guess there are no more than 15 companies is the states doing it. Fairly small market
It’s also a great way to get super high.
You’ll need lots of heat, some patience, and somebody stupid who’s willing to try the first batch to see if it worked or not

I recommend not being the second person either
 
Thoughts, @Rebarcock.?

Lighter than iron, resistant to rust, and stronger than steel.This is the new material that could revolutionize construction globally.

These are glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), an advanced alternative to traditional steel that stands out for its tensile strength (twice that of steel), its lightness (up to four times lighter than iron), its resistance to corrosion, its non-conductive nature, and its economic efficiency, with a costup to 30% lower in construction projects.

They are currently being used in roofs, columns, continuous slabs, floors, garages, ports, and marine environments,demonstrating their versatility and durability.

With just 130 kg of fiber capable of replacing one ton of reinforced steel, and with international certifications and the approval of the Building Research Center, this technology represents a key step toward stronger, lighter, and more sustainable construction.

They say that shit is stronger but I've seen new "stronger" steel break when the old part lasted for 30 years. I think there is a grand canyon size difference in what they test vs what they sell to the US.

If your rebar /steel is breaking it isbhighly likely the construction company used foreign steel. We don't sell it but supply houses do. We have before and I have crazy stories about that from Chinese and South African steel and rebar. There they do falsify material data certification when exporting here. It was a huge problem in the 90-2000s. Not as much now. Rebar life in a non corrosive environment is 80yrs but could go 1kyr in nice conditions. If water present 30yrs or a little longer. (Like piers or seawalls)
Domestic rebar you shouldn't have that issue. That molecular combination is spot on and can be tested and pass and then replicated.
A lot of jobs we have to keep heat #s and test bars 4ft long to be tested from ea ton used to verify strength and composition.

I can talk rebar and steel all day. Thanks. I love it.

War 'Contagion' Spreading as NATO Plans Massive Deployment in Ukraine: Martin Armstrong​

Martin Armstrong cites sources close to him that have revealed NATO is planning to send 250,000 troops into Ukraine, in a last-ditch effort to hold up a rapidly collapsing regime and a war that up until this point, has been unwinnable. Martin gives his take on how Putin will respond to this provocation, why the Western political elite are hell-bent on victory at any cost and most importantly, how we can throw the warmongering Neocons out of power and restore peace to the world.
