Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
GFRC
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is a material that has caused significant synergy in the building industry’s economics, technology, and aesthetics. This eco-friendly composite, which uses natural raw materials and consumes little energy, can produce a wide range of shapes and has become popular among architects, designers, and engineers.
The GFRC, first introduced in 1969 and has since been successfully utilized in all climates throughout the globe, has become a favorite material among notable architects such as Zaha Hadid and Norman foster.
The qualities of GFRC that have made the method popular across the globe and in Iran include ductility, excellent engineering properties, fire resistance, durability in glacial and environmental cases. GFRC, according to engineering and architectural experts in Iran, is the next generation of building facades.
