Optimization of Production Lines and Cross-sections of Fiberglass Rebar

[摘要] The article substantiates the need of the construction industry in new lightweight and durable materials that ensure reduction in the cost of work and increase in the operational characteristics of the constructed facilities. These materials include fiberglass reinforcement which is an auxiliary bar made of heavy-duty glass fibers impregnated with a polymer adhesive composition and additionally entwined to create a ribbed surface and tight fit with fiberglass threads. This fitting has undeniable advantages in comparison with steel fittings. The polymer composite is resistant to corroding medium, does not corrode, does not conduct electricity, has high elastic properties, low thermal conductivity, increased tensile strength, etc. It is shown that the issues related to the improvement of technology and the form of a fiberglass rebar section are relevant for the construction industry. So, in particular, the presented developments will significantly reduce the consumption of adhesive composition for impregnating roving threads, reduce production costs by eliminating the loss of adhesive composition in impregnating vessels and pull-guide rollers, increasing the environmental friendliness of production and increasing the line productivity. In addition, it is possible to improve the strength characteristics by optimizing the cross-section and longitudinal cross-sections of the resulting fiberglass reinforcement. The presented changes in the design and technology of fiberglass reinforcement production can be realized as a separate independent module. It is easy to integrate into existing lines during repair work or routine maintenance of equipment.
