Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is a type of fiber reinforced concrete. Early conventional borosilicate glass caused reduction in strength due to alkali reactivity with the cement paste. Alkali resistant glass fibers (AR glass) were then produced resulting in long term durability, but other strength loss trends were observed. Better durability result was observed when AR glass is used with a developed low alkaline cement. Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. This material is very good in making shapes on the front of any building and it is less dense than steel.
