Explore the latest advancements and applications of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) that are driving innovation and sustainability in various industries.

Chongqing, China - Chongqing Dongshuimen Bridge, a pivotal link across the Yangtze River connecting Yuzhong and Nan'an districts, has unveiled a cutting-edge approach to urban infrastructure with the use of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) hollow core slabs. Completed in 2014, this dual-purpose bridge spans approximately 858 meters and features a dual four-lane upper deck for urban expressway traffic, designed for speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour. Below, a dual-lane urban rail transit system operates at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.

FRP rectangle tubes are made from materials such as epoxy resin and high molecular weight unsaturated polyester resin, which effectively resist acid and alkali corrosion in practical applications. They are also suitable for transporting some corrosive chemical reagents and liquids.

The Qingdao Golden Land Bay project's connecting corridor features 800*300 large rectangular tubes from Spare. Pultruded and formed, each profile weighs 33 kg per meter and requires over 1,700 yarns for production. Despite its size, the corridor is 80% lighter than a steel structure of the same size, facilitating easy installation and construction. The technically challenging production process required Spare to create a specialized mold for pultrusion molding. Effortlessly lifted into place with just a wheel and axle, it saves time and effort on-site.

A recent study by the U.S. Forest Service has shed light on the declining quality of modern wood products, particularly for use in demanding outdoor environments such as coastal boardwalks and seaside promenades. The research found that wood harvested today is less dense and less durable due to accelerated growth cycles. This has led to increased issues with warping, cracking, and deterioration, especially in high-exposure settings.

In recent years, the application of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) pultruded profiles has seen a significant rise in the construction industry, driven by the need for materials that offer superior strength, durability, and versatility. As the construction sector continues to evolve, architects and engineers are increasingly turning to FRP pultruded profiles for a wide range of applications, from structural elements in high-rise buildings to components in infrastructure projects.
