Glass fibre-reinforced polymer tendons

Glass fibre-reinforced polymer tendons

Glass fibre-reinforced polymer tendons

(OP)
I am currently designing a stress laminated timber bridge and happened upon the concept of using GFRP (Glass fibre-reinforced polymer) tendons as the stressing element instead of steel rods. As this product does seem to be used in the geotechnical realm I thought I might try here.  I have been trying to find a supplier but have been unsuccessful.  Does anyone know where I might find a supplier (in Canada - west if possible, but US as well)

RE: Glass fibre-reinforced polymer tendons

Hughes Brothers in Seward Nebaska supplies a good range of GFRP roundbar and deformed rebar.  The guy to contact there is Doug Gremmel. We've used the Aslan product on a few jobs.

Hope this helps.
