Glass Fibre Reinforced Cement—An Overview
Source abstract
Abstract
AbstractWith the advent of new types of alkali resistant glass fibres and advances in cement matrix formulation, the application of Glass Fibre Reinforced Cement (GRC) composites has been extended in a big way. GRC, as it stands today, is not just one composite, but a generic name covering a wide range of materials and the developments are taking place at a rapid pace. In the building industry of India, GRC would help broaden the entrepreneur's technological base with the diversity of its application for replacement of traditional and naturally occurring materials such as timber, asbestos, sheet metal etc. The article is a review of the general technical aspects on constituents, manufacturing methods in brief, properties, durability and scope of commercial applications.
