Choosing GFRC Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete: Modern Materials for Classic Design (Removed)

Since ancient times, concrete mixes and carved natural stone have combined to create substance, beauty, and longevity in our architecture. Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) was created to ensure the attributes of concrete and stone continue to be enjoyed but with the efficiency in application that is expected in today’s world of design. This course covers the evolution of GFRC, its applications and how it is custom created, its advantages, and how GFRC compares to other types of architectural concrete

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Indicate in what way glass fibers impact the properties of concrete in GFRC.
• Differentiate GFRC from other types of architectural concrete.
• List five applications that GFRC panels are molded into for the facades of buildings.
• Name a project challenge that would be solved by using GFRC.
• Recognize the role of the supplier/fabricator in providing a mounting and installation system in accordance to the GFRC piece design.
