Major earthquakes can occur anywhere in the world.
Rebar joints are one of the most important determinants of structural strength.

Japan has one of the world's highest occurrences of earthquakes. Fujibolt has always worked to provide safe and secure spaces. Major earthquakes such as the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake remind us of the true value of such spaces. To further its mission of contributing to earthquake-resistant structures that can withstand such major earthquakes, Fujibolt established PT Fujibolt Indonesia in 2012, as the country also suffers from frequent earthquakes. Our products will continue to contribute to infrastructure development in Asia and around the world.

Fuji Bolt’s “excessively” robust and tough FD Grip helped protect the Nuclear Power Plant during the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 despite being located only 130km from the epicenter of the Magnitude 9.0 earthquake.

The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant, which used Fuji Bolt’s “excessively” robust and tough FD Grip mechanical joints in its construction, remained almost completely undamaged during the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 despite being located only 130km from the epicenter of the Magnitude 9(M 9.0) earthquake, and was even able to serve as an emergency shelter for local residents. We believe that the buildings and structures that underpin our social infrastructure must be able to maintain their stability and safety even during unprecedented and unexpected events such as the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. That is why we designed our FD Grip mechanical joints to be “excessively” robust and tough.

What Fujibolt Difference

As a specialized rebar mechanical splice manufacturer,
we are dedicated to the provision of earthquake-resistant structures.

Steel with High Levels of Strength and Ductility

Fujibolt uses carbon steel rather than cast iron to realize high levels of strength and ductility. Steel not only has excellent mechanical properties and toughness, but is also resistant to brittle fractures even when sudden, unexpected shocks, impacts or vibrations occur.

High Stiffness and Low Slippage

Using our precision screws and high-performance grout provides not only tensile strength but also high stiffness and low slippage in one-way tensile tests. Our products also maintain high stiffness and low slippage even in elastic and plastic cyclic tension-compression tests to comply with Japan's stringent requirements.

Performance That Withstands Harsh Environments

In addition to best-in-class joint performance, Fujibolt has ensured the performance of our rebar in harsh environments by carrying out low-temperature performance tests on LNG tanks and fatigue performance tests (high-cycle repeated fatigue tests) for railroads, roads and other structures that are subject to repeated variable loads.

Fujibolt is best-suited for the following types of users.

Project Owner

・Wants to construct high-value, quality buildings or infrastructure with superior earthquake resistance.
・Wants to reduce life-cycling costs via structural durability.
・Appreciates Fujibolt's 30-year earthquake endurance track record in Japan.

General Contractor

・Wants mechanical splicing well beyond minimum requirements that will easily pass any surprise onsite testing (as opposed to just meetingthe needed minimum requirements).
・Expects conscientious service during the construction period, such as speedy delivery and onsite guidance.
・Believes that the cheapest rebar splicing is not necessarily the best choice.

Structural Design Consultant

・Wants to use reliable rebar splicing to achieve design strength.
・Seeks to emphasize the reliability of construction regardless of the use of skilled craftsmen.
・Wants to emphasize not only fundamental performance but other types of performance, such as for fatigue and low-temperatures.

Rebar Manufacturer/Processer

・Seeks to create synergy by incorporating Fujibolt's high-quality rebar splicing into its own rebar products or rebar processing.

Trading Company

・Look for high-quality rebar splicing that meets local needs and is not deformation-dependent.
