Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete construction elements known as GRC Glass Reinforced Cement Composites /GFRC Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites in the world, whose examples have been applied with their technical characteristics throughout the world since the early 1970s, began to be applied widespreadly in our country as well, particularly in the high quality buildings, as from the second half of the 1980s.
Glass/Fiber Reinforced Concrete products are manufactured by molding the plaster obtained by blending alkali resistant glass fiber with concrete grout.
By means of the advantages it provides, which cannot be provided by the other materials, it became to be used more widespreadly in the building sector, particularly in the prestige buildings constructed by technology intensive methods; in the buildings constructed by modern building technology; and in restoration of historical buildings.
Glass reinforced concrete products do not contain iron or steel reinforcement. Glass fiber functions as a reinforcement, which is made homogeneous by means of suitable polymers
