2. Glass fiber reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Glass_fiber_reinforced_concrete

   Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. The product is also known as glassfibre reinforced concrete or GRC in British English. [1] Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement ...

   Fibers are added for long term durability of concrete. Glass [14] and polyester [15] decompose in alkaline condition of concrete and various additives and surface treatment of concrete. The High Speed 1 tunnel linings incorporated concrete containing 1 kg/m 3 or more of polypropylene fibers, of diameter 18 & 32 μm, giving the benefits noted ...

6. Cement - Wikipedia
