Stress/Strain Relationship: How does FRP rebar differ from steel?

The Modulus of Elasticity of FRP rebar from the test results is 7.86 x 10 psi, that of steel 30 x 10 psi. In other words, for the same shape and same load, FRP will deflect, elongate, or compress approximately five times as much as steel.

How does FRP rebar differ in price to steel reinforcement?

Approximately 2-1/2 times as expensive per foot.

Can it be chopped like steel?

Yes, with difficulty on larger sizes. Glass is highly abrasive. Chopping is not recommended.
