07 Assessment
Advantages
- 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
Constraints
- Properties depend strongly on process and fibre dosage; manufacturer test data required
- Panel systems require specialist fabrication and installation
- Water absorption and durability depend on mix design and curing
