A webinar on “Innovating Structural Reinforcement: The Role of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars in Modern Construction” was successfully held on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, via Zoom, attracting 50 participants.

The session focused on the performance properties of GFRP reinforcing bars and their comparison with traditional steel reinforcement. Participants also learned about the new ACI code for GFRP reinforced concrete, including its applications, limitations, and alignment with other key standards from ACI and ASTM. The webinar further covered the mechanics of GFRP reinforced concrete and the code requirements for field installation.

Ms Huang Mei Si, Co-Founder of CRT Manufacturing, led the session and shared practical insights on incorporating GFRP in modern construction projects.
