The Performance Evaluation of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

Abstract:

This study is intended to propose the performance standards and performance test standards of artificial rocks through investigation of standards, guidelines and other literature home and abroad, testing, and site-survey. As a result, the selected performance requirements include a total of 15 items: structural safety (flexural, compressive, impact strength), durability (crack, corrosion resistance, fire resistance), landscape (texture, discoloration, color), environmental load reduction (CO₂ reduction rate, materials recycling rate, water quality and soil), and ecological performance (biodiversity, ecological similarity, ecosystem function damage reduction).
