Concrete Reinforced by Glass-Fibre Mesh and Their Efficient Usage in Plated Façade Components Stiffened by Rib

Abstract:

The paper deals with the problems of the actual behaviour of glass-fibre-concrete (GFC) facade components stiffened by the rib. The results of loading tests of GFC plated panels subjected to the load simulating the effects of the wind pressuring or sucking are especially presented in the paper. Loading tests were oriented to the investigation of the actual behaviour of GFC component in the loading progress up to the failure, in particular with the accent to monitoring the strain mechanism in the loading process and subsequent the failure mechanism at reaching the ultimate load-bearing capacity. The particular test results in the form of the objective ultimate capacities obtained as the maximal loads at the failure give the important information on the properties of the plated facade panel composed of glass-fibre-concrete produced by the “splashing” method, namely in the relation to the physical-mechanical properties of the material and to the geometrical characteristics of the panel cross-section.
