Examples in Context
- Polymer modified glass fiber reinforced concrete
- At last, the author analyses the deficiency of the experiment and points out some improvement measures. Simultaneously, the author prospects the future application of glass fiber reinforced concrete and hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
- Glass fiber reinforced concrete ( GFRC ) is a specialty concrete made by dispersing a given proportion of specified glass fibers in a concrete matrix to improve its toughness, flex and compression resistance.
- The results show that adding a certain amount of three fibers separately into concrete have all increased splitting strength and toughening effect is obvious Compared with common concrete, compressive strength of alkali-resistant glass fiber reinforced concrete and basalt fiber reinforced concrete are both improved.
- At present, glass fiber reinforced concrete is widely used in road bridge engineering, hydraulic engineering, architectural decoration engineering and so on. However, it has been limited to local reinforce and it is rare in the application of single structure.
