Hi, I am a student who is currently undertaking a finial year project, I am researching the potential use of carbon fibre rods being used as reinforcement for concrete beams. I have found a company which does this with glass fibres however I would also like to look into carbon fibre. I would like to know if it would be possible to produce rods with a helical pattern/rough surface texture for a given length. Please see image below.

Others will no doubt comment on the structural suitability of carbon rods as concrete reinforcement. All I can suggest is that you investigate the cost of carbon rods and compare with the cost of steel rebar.
