Abstract

The non-corrosive micro rebar is an apparatus that reinforces concrete structures. The apparatus includes a central rod, a plurality of threads, and a plurality of channels. The central rod connects the plurality of threads to one another and allows the apparatus to be flexible within the concrete structure. The plurality of threads allows a concrete mixture to grip around the apparatus. The concrete mixture surrounds the apparatus by filling the plurality of channels. In order for apparatus to hold together the concrete structure, each of the plurality of threads includes a connecting rod and an anchoring bar. The plurality of threads laterally traverses along the central rod and is radially distributed about the central rod. The connecting bar is fixed to the central rod and is oriented perpendicular to the central rod. The connecting bar traverse across the connecting rod and is oriented concave with the connecting rod.
