“…The benefits for the use of GFRC are toughness, ductility, and reducing large cracks, when compared to normal reinforced concrete. Generally, alkali resistant glass (ARGlass) is selected for making GFRC to reduce the degradation of glass fiber due to alkaline content of cement [1][2][3][4][5] . The polymer latex admixture is commonly used to improve the flexural strength, workability, and toughness of GFRC [ 6] .…”

Abstract. The purposes of this study were to evaluate compressive strength, flexural strength, and drying shrinkage of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) applying different techniques and varying polymer content. Two groups of specimens were classified applying the techniques: sprayed and premixed methods. AR-Glass was used with fiber content of 3 to 4% by volume. GFRC was mixed and applied different techniques with proportions of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) content of 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% by weight of cement. Compressive and flexural strength tests were performed at 1 and 28 days. Drying shrinkage tests were measured up to 98 days. The results obtained showed that increasing the SBR content showed a lower compressive strength of GFRC for both sprayed and premixed techniques. In the other hand, 28-day flexural strength results of GFRC for both premixed and sprayed techniques were found to increase with increasing SBR content. The GFRC mixes using sprayed technique exhibited flexural strength higher than the corresponding mixes using premixed technique because of the two-dimensional layer of fiber alignment for the sprayed technique. Increasing the SBR content exhibited the lower drying shrinkage of GFRC. At the age of 98 days, the drying shrinkage of GFRC using 9% SBR content was about 40% lower than that of GFRC using 0% SBR content.

“…Por otro lado se emplea también como encofrado perdido, en tuberías, en la rehabilitación de edificios, en conducciones de alcantarillado, en recubrimiento de túneles, en protección de las riberas de los ríos y en barreras de protección acústica (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). En todos estos usos el GRC tiene una función no estructural.…”

“…Since the beginning of 1970s they have found their place as versatile and commercially viable materials for use in construction industry with a wide application range from façade panels to formwork, pipework, and even surface bonding and rendering (Bentur and Mindess 1990;Majumdar and Laws 1991). Therefore, their mechanical performance always was of primary concern of both researchers and building industry.…”

Abstract. The bulk density, open porosity, matrix density, tensile strength, bending strength, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and linear thermal expansion coefficient of high-density glass fiber reinforced cement composite are determined as functions of temperature up to 1000 °C. The basic physical parameters and mechanical parameters are found to exhibit the most important changes between the reference state and 600 °C pre-heating where the increase of porosity is as high as 40% and both the tensile strength and bending strength decrease to about one third of their original values. The measured dependences of thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity on temperature indicate that the heat transfer in the studied material is accelerated once temperature achieves 500-600 °C but the change in heat storage expressed by the specific heat capacity is less important. The linear thermal expansion coefficient is not found to be affected by high temperatures in a negative way; it is either lower or comparable to its low-temperature values.
