A REVIEW OF ADVANTAGES OF USING GLASS FIBER REINFORCEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete or (GFRC) is a composite that has glass fibers instead of steel strands for its reinforcement. Removing the steel reinforcement not only weakened, but also omitted steel erosion, corrosion, and their future repair costs, steel reinforcement costs, optimal coverage, and etc. In this research, several sources were studied to determine and […]

A new method to advance complex geometry thin-walled glass fibre reinforced concrete elements

A new method to advance complex geometry thin-walled glass fibre reinforced concrete elements Complex geometry concrete is being used in building and infrastructure projects, however costly in-situ mouldings are necessary to achieve these geometries. Advancing discretised concrete shell structures requires the development of a new moulding system at lower cost and reduced mould production times. […]
