GLASS REINFORCED CONCRETE



Glassfibre Reinforced Cement (GRC) is a composite material consisting of a mortar of hydraulic cementand fine aggregate reinforced with alkalai resistant glassfibre. The GRC may contain additional filtermaterials, pozzolaic materials and admixtures. The fibre contents are typically 3% to 5% by weightdepending on product application and production method employed. The properties of GRC depend ona wide range of variables. These include method of manufacture, mix formulation, fibre product type,length and orientation, admixtures used etc. A GRC material may therefore be tailored to meet theparticular requirements of a specific application. GRC materials have an aggregate‐cement ratio of upto 1:1, incorporating glass fibre and made by spray and premix processes. These materials have beenwidely used for many years and their properties and characteristics have been studied extensively.

GRC is a family of composite materials that combine the high compressive strength properties ofcement mortars with significantly increased impact, flexural and tensile strengths imparted by the fibrereinforcement.

GRC products are safe, have good chemical resistance and will not rot or corrode. GRC is made oforganic materials and will not burn, has negligible smoke emission and offers good fire resistance. GRCis normally of relatively thin cross sections, giving a low component weight which allows savings inhandling, storage, transportation, and installation compared with traditional concrete products.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GRC

Hand sprayed GRC are commonly used in architectural cladding, decorative columns, capital and bases,arches, domes, cornices and frieze and other applications that require thin and lightweight profile.

Premix GRC is mostly used in screens and grating.
