Abstract
Non-corrosive concrete reinforcing members are formed by pultruding reinforcing fibers through resin to produce an elongated core and a plurality of elongated flanges extending radially outward from the core. A slot is formed through a portion of the elongated core such that each flange has a free inner edge adjacent the slot. The reinforcing member is thereby bendable along the slot in a direction transverse to the elongated core.
