Mateenbar Design Guide
For MateenBar, strength is calculated from the guaranteed tensile strength (Ffu*) and
Allowable Rupture Stress (Ff). These values are used to calculate the flexural
capacity.

For a MateenBar reinforced section, the Strength Reduction Factor depends on the
reinforcement ratio (ρf)
ρf = Area of GFRP/b.d
The only difference is there is there is bond dependent factor (kb) in the MateenBar
crack width calculation.
For a Steel reinforced section Crack Width (Wc) = 2Ff.β.sqrt [dc2 + (s/2)2]
Ef
For a MateenBar Reinforced section Crack Width (Wc) = 2Ff.β.kb.sqrt [dc2 + (s/2)2]
Ef
NOTE: In situations where the crack width is being held low in a Steel reinforced
structure to delay water ingress into the rebar, it may be possible to increase the
allowable crack width when using MateenBar as there is no need to protect the
MateenBar from water.

Tensile Strength of Bend Bar for Shear design (Ffv) = 0.004Ef ≤ Ffb
Stirrup spacing (s) =ϕ.Afv.Ffv.d/(Vu-ϕVc) Where ; Afv = Shear area within a space (s)
Therefore Ff = √

Therefore, ρf ≤ ρfb
Hence ϕ = 0.55
