Ultra-high performance fiber concrete for architectural purposes

Abstract

The aim of the research works is the development of ultra-high-performance fiber concrete (UHPFRC) for architectual purposes, such as facade panels and their accessories. Research is aimed at achieving high utility properties in the form of high flexural tensile strength, low absorption and very good durability of the developed UHPFRC. The research is also focused on the development of the production technology itself, by pouring and spraying fresh UHPFRC mixtures into molds. The development of cast UHPFRC is also focused on the design and optimization of the production technology, which will enable an automatic production process and reduce costs for the production of flat facade panels. The development of sprayed UHPFRC will make it possible to produce 3D elements with higher utility properties compared to currently produced products from ordinary fiberglass concrete (GFRC).

Influencia de la adición de fibra de vidrio AR sobre la resistencia a la compresión del concreto f’c 210 kg/cm2. Una revisión sistemática: 2020 – 2024

“…En la misma línea, Osman et al (2024), subrayan la importancia de la fibra de vidrio AR en la fabricación de concreto, resaltando sus contribuciones a la sostenibilidad ambiental y la resistencia estructural. La investigación concluyó que este componente no solo mejora la tenacidad del concreto, sino que también promueve prácticas de construcción ecológicas, evidenciando un compromiso con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible a nivel global (Bibora y Leber, 2023).…”
