Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Products Properties and Applications

摘要

style="text-align: left;">Presents a state-of-the-art report on the production techniques, properties, applications (with design and erection suggestions) and economics of alkali resistant glass fiber reinforced concrete products manufactured by the spray-up process. The advantages, limitations and cost of the material, especially in regard to producing architectural precast panels, are fully discussed.  >References style="text-align: left;">1. Ali, M.
