A BUILDING SOLUTION FOR ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS
WHAT IS GRC? GRC or GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is a unique construction material. In its simplest form GRC is comprised of cement, sand, special alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibers and wate. These are combined by a variety of manu- facturing processes to provide a construction material of considerable strength and versatility that offers surprising […]
30yrs of GFRC and its Applications
Synopsis: Thin, fiber reinforced cementitious products offer a useful balance of properties such as strength, toughness, environmental durability, moisture resistance, dimensional stability, fire resistance, esthetics and ease of handling and installation. For more than 30 years, AR glass fibers have been at the forefront in the development of new applications of such products throughout the […]
An innovative approach to manufacture thin-walled glass fibre reinforced concrete for tomorrow’s architectural buildings envelopes with complex geometries
Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) elements have become a sought after cladding material since their introduction as rain screen cladding for buildings. To advance GFRC for a range of complex geometry building envelopes this also requires advances in existing moulding techniques for thin-walled GFRC elements. To do so it is necessary to define the current […]
