Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete Products for Construction Industry and Architecture

Abstract:

Glass fibre reinforced concrete is a material which found its undisputable place in architecture and construction industry. Architecture has been using its creativity potential at building atypical elements of a specific building and the needed detail. This specific material enables unusual geometrical shapes, curves and surfaces. It is able to create custom-made original works. It is not a material which is used to make the products competitive with their price and serial production etc. It wants to be original, offers new challenges and provide new forms of its application to the people. The paper describes selected glass fibre reinforced concrete products which can serve as examples of new components creation to the producers and architects.
