The rebirth of concrete with engineering and aesthetics: foundations of GRC (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete) technology and production methodology.
The Rebirth of Concrete with Engineering and Aesthetics
Precast (or GRC - Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete as it is known in international literature) is a high-tech building material that eliminates architectural boundaries. It is obtained by combining white cement, silica sand and specially alkali-resistant glass fiber with a technical formula. As Fiber Group, we blend these traditional components with 20 years of engineering experience, transforming the exterior shell of buildings into a work of art.
Chemical and Physical Structure of Precast
GRC technology, which leaves behind the cumbersomeness of traditional concrete, draws its strength from the glass fiber reinforcements inside it. These reinforcements maximize the tensile and bending strength of the material while allowing panels to be produced very thin (approximately 12-15 mm).
- Alkali Resistant Glass Fiber: Prevents micro-cracks that may occur over time by showing resistance to the alkaline environment in concrete.
- High Performance Binders: Special additives providing impermeability against weather conditions.
Difference Between GRC and UHPC
Fiber Group goes beyond standard GRC production to offer UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) solutions. UHPC, with its much denser structure and extraordinary strength even at millimeter thinness, is indispensable especially for mega projects with complex geometries.
- A1 Class Non-Combustible
- Resistant to Water and Frost
- Rustproof (No steel reinforcement)
- Panel thickness down to 12-15 mm
- GRC and UHPC technologies
