Glass fibre-reinforced concrete (GRC/GFRC) facade panels are thin cementitious cladding elements reinforced with alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibres to improve tensile and flexural performance. Guide values for spray-applied GFRC report density around 1.8?2.0 g/cm3, compressive strength 50?80 MPa, bending tensile strength 15?30 MPa, tensile strength 6?10 MPa, elastic modulus 15?25 GPa, and water absorption typically <7% (test method dependent).
- Lower density than conventional precast (about 1.8?2.0 g/cm3)
- Higher flexural/tensile capacity than plain concrete due to AR glass fibres
- Suitable for thin, lightweight cladding panels
