Glass-fibre reinforced concrete (GRC) is a
material made of a cementatious matrix composed of
cement, sand, water and admixtures, in which short
length glass fibres are dispersed. It has been widely
used in the construction industry for non-structural
elements, like façade panels, piping and channels.
GRC offers many advantages, such as being
lightweight, fire resistance, good appearance and
strength. In this study trial tests for concrete with
glass fibre and without glass fibre are conducted to
indicate the differences in compressive strength and
flexural strength by using cubes of varying sizes.
Various applications of GFRC shown in the study,
the experimental test results, techno-economic
comparison with other types, as well as the financial
calculations presented, indicate the tremendous
potential of GFRC as an alternative construction
material.
