Fittings made of composite materials are a product of new technologies, the technical characteristics of which make it possible to successfully use it as an alternative to traditional steel fittings in construction of:
- Foundation;
- Marine and port facilities;
- Reinforcement of concrete tanks;
- Repair and strengthening of bearing capacity of brick and reinforced concrete structures;
- Road slabs, airfield slabs;
- For the production of small architectural forms;
- For the road paving and decking of highway bridges;
- The implementation of the infrastructure elements in the chemical industries;
- Repair of damaged brick and reinforced concrete structures;
- Fittings are used for constructions based on gypsum binders;
- Construction of swimming pools and industrial pools;
The application of fiberglass fittings in civil and industrial construction is caused by many variables:
- Low specific gravity;
- High corrosion resistance;
- Low thermal conductivity of composite materials;
- High strength, several times the strength of steel fittings;
- Is a dielectric;
- Durability;
As known, the main drawback of traditional low-carbon steel fittings is a low index of corrosion resistance, which limits their use in the construction of marine facilities and constructions located in the zone of variable water level.
