The mechanics of FRP-reinforced concrete involve a few critical differences from traditional reinforced concrete. FRP materials are anisotropic, meaning their mechanical properties vary depending on the direction of the force applied. Consequently, designing with FRP requires careful consideration of the orientation of the fibers. Additionally, the bond between FRP bars and concrete differs from that of steel rebar. Adhesive properties, stress transfer, and the potential for slip all differ and must be meticulously analyzed during the design phase.

Safety is another critical factor in walkway design, and GRP grating stands out in this area as well. The surface of the grating can be manufactured with anti-slip properties, making it an ideal choice for areas where slips and falls can pose significant risks. This is particularly important in wet or oily environments, where traditional materials may fail to provide adequate traction. Additionally, GRP grating is often manufactured with bright colors or marked patterns, enhancing visibility and further contributing to the safety of workers and visitors.
