3. High Strength-to-Weight Ratio Despite being lightweight, FRP bars possess exceptional tensile strength. This means that less material is required without compromising structural integrity, which is particularly beneficial in applications where weight is a critical consideration, such as bridges and high-rise buildings.

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.
