CHAPTER Ι
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The fiber reinforced concrete first introduced by the ancient Phoenician’s
In Egyptians and Greek until 1930 s that the process evolved into
commercial-scale manufacturing of continuous fibers, which would
Later be used as structural reinforcements. Patent applications filed
Between 1933 and 1937 by games slayer, john Thomas and dale
Kleist, employees of Owens-Illinois glass co. (Toledo, Ohio),
Then glass fiber reinforced concrete manufacturing is done in India
that in state of Kerala,
And then in district of Chennai recently they build an
Building using this glass fiber reinforced concrete in
Prefabrication method.
1.3. Advantage
It takes advantage of the shear strength of a low-density core material
And the high compressive and tensile strengths of (GFRC) facing to obtain high
strengths to weight ratio
Disadvantage
Durability was poor with the original type of glass fibers since the alkalinity
of cement reacts with its silica. In the 1970s alkali-resistant glass fibers were
commercialized. Alkali resistance is achieved by adding zirconia to the glass.
The higher the zirconia content the better the resistance to alkali attack.
Ar glass fibers should have a zirconia content of more than 16% to be in
compliance with internationally recognized specifications
(En, astm, pci, grca, etc.).
i. gfrc cast without steel framing is commonly used for purely decorative
applications such as window trims,
Sandwich Panels:
The theory of sandwich panels and functions of the individual components may be described
by making an analogy to an I-beam. The core in a sandwich panel is comparable to the web of
an I-beam, which supports the flanges and allows them to act as a unit.
The core of the sandwich panels carry the beam shear stresses. The core in a sandwich panel
differs from the web of an I-beam in that it maintains continuous support for the facings,
allowing the facings to be worked up to or above their yield strength without crimping or
buckling. Obviously, the bonds between the core and facings must be capable of
transmitting shear loads between these two components, thus making the entire structure an
integral unit.
1.5 Properties
Pre-cast concrete panels, but differ in several significant ways. For example, the
Gfrc panels, on average, weigh substantially less than pre-cast concrete panels due
To their reduced thickness. Their low weight decreases loads superimposed on the
Building’s structural components making construction of the building frame more
Economical.
1.6 USES
Glass fiber reinforced concrete is incredibly versatile and has a large number of
use cases due to its strength, weight, and design. The most common place you
will see this material is in the construction industry. it's used in very demanding
cases such as architectural cladding that's hanging several stories above
sidewalks or even more Glass fiber reinforced concrete has a wide variety of
applications – it can be used to fabricate interior countertops, floors, fireplace
mantles, exterior window surround elements, and façade wall panels, among
other use for aesthetics such as interior furniture pieces like coffee table. Uses of
glass fibers in concrete is very limited because they suffer severe damage and
loss of strength due to abrasion and impact forces generated during movement of
aggregates in mixer. Considerable attention has been paid for thorough
understanding of the mechanical properties and performance characteristics of
GFRC in the design of GFRC components. Several projects were reported for
building wall panels made of GFRC in UK and USA. GFRC has also been used
for repair works and for industrial floors in USA.
CHAPTER Ⅱ
2.1 Carbon fibre reinforced concrete
In late 1800s was the first to use the carbon fibre as filaments for early light bulbs
It lacked the high tensile strength of today carbon fibre’s however he used it because of
their high tolerance to heat which made these fibre ideal for conducting electricity.
it wasn’t until the late 1950s that high –performance carbon fibre was manufactured by
Mitsubishi rayon The USA’s air force and NASA didn’t wait develop the carbon fibre
technology and began to use
1stin the thermoset treatment the fibres are stretched and heated to more than
400c.
2nd in the carbonize treatment the fibres are heated to about 800 c in an oxygen
free environment to remove non carbon impurities.
3rd the last two treatment steps surface treatment and epoxy sizing are preformed
to enhance the carbon fibre bonding strength.
2.3 Manufacture process of carbon fiber reinforced concrete
Carbon fibres are mostly used for the repair purposes of old structural
Element against shear and flexure failure, the material known as crfc
However, in the early 1990s researches showed that carbon fibres can
Be used inside the concrete instead of steel reinforcement showing a
Significant improvement in flexural and tensile strength of concrete,
Carbon reinforced concrete is a composite material consisting
Of two high-performance materials. The innovative combination
Of carbon fiber fabrics or bars with fine-grained concrete
Simultaneously enables significantly more varied shapes
And a high load-bearing capacity.
The main difference between glass fibre and carbon fibre is (weight) .
Glass is denser than carbon.
As for strength there isn’t much difference between glass and carbon
Or for that matter a great many other materialism the form of
Very thin fibres, at room temperature.
At modestly high temperature glass melts but carbon
(Graphite) has no melting point except at extreme pressure
2.8APPLICATION
The application of the laminated carbon fiber composites showed a simple and
rapid technique for performing structural reinforcement. From the results
obtained, it was found that the gain in strength caused by the application of the
composite material in the three classes of resistance. However, it was observed
that the efficiency factor of the reinforcement with carbon fibers is considerably
higher in the lowest specific strength. As you increase the resistance of reinforced
concrete
structural reinforcement.
