Advantages Of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
1. The application
GFRC is a material that has multiple functions which can be used in the construction of trim, columns, balustrades, ornaments, pedaments, sills, copings, window and door surrounds, site furnishings and the others more. This is because GFRC is a lightweight product and easy to handle compared to the other normal concrete product.GFRC design is also easy to be formed, compared with the cast stone which is cast stone need to be vibrated in order to eliminate or reduce air and water that contained in the cast stone concrete.

2. The strength of GFRC
GFRC is a product that has high tensile strength, which are indispensable in the construction of a stronger building. The flexural strength that can be produced by the GFRC, can reach up to 4000 psi, and it has a very high …show more content…

Fiber has a mechanical strength that help to improve the strengthen of GFRC • Tradisional concrete only using cement, aggregate and water when mixing.
• Bending force is stronger due to the presence of glass fibers used • The flexure strength of tradisional concrete is depends on type, size and volume of the course aggregate that being used in the mixing.
• GFRC allow for the limitless of the design opportunities. It is because GFRC is more lightweight and easy to be design in many ways • Normal concrete is more weight if compared to the GFRC product and because of that its to difficult to design the concrete in many ways.
• GFRC can withstand a high amount of water, erosion caused by weather, alkali and corrosion • due to the size and type of aggregate used is different for each concrete mixture, the durability of traditional concrete is less than

    www.strombergarchitectural.com/technical/gfrc-design-cast-build.pdf 15/1/2018 Makeup GFRC is a combination of fine aggregate, cement, water, polymer and glass fibre. The key to GFRC is the glass-fibre reinforcement. The glass fibres take the place of steel in a wet-cast mix, which allow GFRC to develop much greater strengths than standard wet-cast concrete. This then allows us to cast thinner, lighter sections but also larger in surface area if need be than ordinary reinforced concrete panels.

This will help decide on which material is best suited for each component of the building as we will be able to find which material is the strongest and long-lasting for the foundation and which is best at stopping heat transfer for the wall insulation. For a construction project to be successful the right material needs to be used for each component in the building to ensure that the

    Normally OSHA citations are mailed to the company within several days up to a few weeks after the closing conference. All OSHA citations must be issued to the employer within six months of the start of the inspection. After the employer has received the citation(s), the employer must post a copy in a noticeable place near each cited hazard. The citation(s) must be posted until the violations are abated or for three working days, whichever is longer. Each cited hazard is required to have all documents related to the abatement plan posted with the citation(s).

Although, of all of these innovations and technologies, hydraulic cement-based concrete is one of the only to have greatly helped many in the ancient world, whilst remaining unchanged to help those in the modern world. Hydraulic cement-based concrete is certainly the most significant ancient Roman innovation that has come to be. Ancient Roman concrete was significant as it allowed the ancient world to build greater infrastructure. This in turn vitally helped keep the everyday citizens of Rome working and helped revolutionise trade and many regions’ economies.

  • Concrete In Roman Architecture Essay

    1905 Words  | 8 Pages

    Modern day concrete is stronger than the Roman concrete because it incorporates steel bars, which builds up tensile strength within the material. Essentially, it is Ferro- or “reinforced” concrete. The Romans did not use steel or metal to reinforce their concrete. The influence of concrete on Roman Architecture: Concrete, as the Romans developed and used it, defines much of what makes Roman Architecture distinctive to us today. Roman Architecture is essentially a dialogue between the older, traditional rectilinear forms of the Greek civilization and the early Italic post-and-lintel traditions.

    The advantages of the Roman cement can be stated as follows (University of California, Santa Barbara, n,d): a) it was exceptionally strong and could span great distances when shaped into arches, vaults and domes b) it had greater flexibility in molding space since concrete was virtually "poured" (or layered) into a formwork and took the shape of its container c) it did not require special, skilled labor, therefore, it was cheaper d ) it was much faster to construct than laboriously cut ashlar masonry; e) since concrete-vaulted roofing was fireproof, unlike the wooden-beamed roofs of traditional systems, it was safer.

    Introduction The most important invention of the Romans was the invention of concrete, because it made a lot of other inventions possible. The Romans invented concrete by mixing pozzolana (which was a chocolate-colored volcanic material) and limestone. They then added strengthening materials like bricks and rocks. This mix was heated to a high enough temperature to make the substances fuse. The material would then be pulverized, with which you would get a powder.

    Concrete has been used as building material for very long time ago. About 3000 B.C, the Egyptians were blended mud and straw to form blocks and utilized gypsum and lime to make mortars. In 300 B.C, the Ancient Roman improved that combination and gave it a name (Steiger, 1995). "Concrete" originates from the Latin “concretus”, which means developed together or intensified. The new material helped them on building a lot of structures, which could endure the attack by elements and their enemies.
