Carbon fibre structural beams

Combining the classic structural member with modern carbon fibre materials, Beyond Materials Group now offers custom made carbon fibre I-beams, which are an excellent light-weight solution for solving structural problems. These reinforcement carbon fibre I-beams are extremely strong in bending and shear loading. The combination of uni-directional and bidirectional fabrics give the I-beam its high bending strength. These properties cannot be obtained as efficiently with pultruded I-beams. Carbon fibre I-beams can offer similar properties in bending and shear as sandwich panels with the same thickness, but without the added weight from core material. With a textured finish on the top and bottom, our carbon fibre I-beams are perfect for bonding to thin panels to create an extremely stiff and strong structure.

Beyond Materials Group is able to supply high quality custom made carbon fibre beams according to client specifications. From our head office in Gold Coast we are able to ship our carbon fibre beams Australia wide.

Basalt Reinforcement Bars

 

Basalt Rebar

Beyond Materials Group offers a wide range of non corrosive basalt materials used in concrete reinforcement, construction and manufacturing. Our nonferrous reinforcement, Basalt reinforcement rebars and Geogrid mesh have been widely used in production of lightweight concrete panels and marine construction.

Basalt Rebar is an alternative to steel and fiberglass for concrete reinforcement.

Basalt fiber is a high performance non-metallic fiber made from basalt rock melted at high temperature.

Key Benefits of Basalt rebar:

  • High strength and low weight
  • High corrosion resistance
  • High tensile modulus
  • Non-conductive and non magnetic
  • Easy installation
  • Nonferrous reinforcement,

 

 

Basalt rebar has much higher tensile strength than steel or fiberglass rebar of the same diameter.

Being 8-10 times lighter than steel, Basalt rebar is much easier to install.

Corrosion Resistance
Basalt does not rust or absorb water, so the depth of concrete cover can be reduced, allowing for thinner sections and more flexibility of design.

Basalt rebar is perfect for pervious concrete or applications where concrete is exposed to marine environments or areas affected by road salt. Basalt is naturally resistant to alkalis and will not act as a conduit for moisture.

Tensile Modulus
Since Basalt is so strong in tension and compression, it cannot be bent or formed like steel. If tensile modulus issues arise, modifying the Basalt rebar adding more basalt in finer diameters in tighter grids closer to the surface will overcome any tensile modulus issues. Basalt rebar has the same thermal coefficient of expansion as concrete.

Basalt rebar is easily cut to length with regular tools.

Basalt rebar does not conduct electricity or induce fields when exposed to RF energy, great for MRI or data buildings.

Basalt rebar is perfect for Marine environments and Chemical plants where corrosion is a continuous concern.

Basalt Rebar is available in the following diameters: 4mm. 6mm. 8mm. 10mm. 12mm or customized.

 

Basalt Geo-Grid Mesh

Strengthen concrete with basalt mesh Basalt Mesh Geo-grid is available in different sizes with epoxy coatings for concrete and asphalt reinforcement.

Basalt Mesh is better than steel for many reasons:

• Stronger than steel wire of comparable size
• By far lighter and easier to handle and install (no nasty cuts).
• Will not rust or corrode or cause cracking of concrete
• Flexible for easier design
• Basalt does not conduct electricity or induce electric fields
• Basalt Mesh binds well with both asphalt and concrete

• Customize mesh sizes available 4-40mm

 

 Basalt Fiber Geo-Grid Mesh

Used for reinforcing asphalt-concrete (covering in construction, reconstruction and repair of airport, runways, highways and any pavements, pedestrian ways, road inclines and banks).

The reinforcement with basalt mesh Geo-grid increases the overall reliability, safety and the cutting process output. The strength of basalt mesh is as good as metal reinforcement, however it is lighter, thereby simplifying transportation and handling in construction.

Basalt Geo-grid Mesh is more durable than metallic and glass-fiber reinforcement due to basalt fiber’s excellent performance. Like all the basalt articles it is an ecologically safe material.

 Basalt Chopped Fibres

Basalt Chopped Fibres can be mixed directly into polymers and concrete to increase tensile strength and reduce cracking and chipping. ( Chopped Carbon Fibres are also available)

Basalt Chopped Fibres – Features & Benefits

• High tensile strength
• Resistant to alkali in concrete and require no special coatings
• Resist cold down to -260°F and heat up to 1,500°F
• Do not conduct electricity or induce electrical fields
• Do not absorb or wick water
• Will not harbor bacteria or microbial growth
• Has good fatigue resistance
