Hi Mohamed Galal Hussein Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed

 

Traditional concrete uses sand, cement and rocks as its constituents. Instead of using sand one can use glass fibres in the mix. This will cause the final wall or structure to become semi-transparent to light. This is good in architectural designs where natural lighting is needed, as the sun'd light travels through the GFRC easily. GFRC will still have the same structural strength as regular concrete.

 

Good day

it is a concrete mixed with ratio of fiber glass which improve the tension force resistance by the concrete so it can prevent hair cracks

Cement mixed with Glass Fiber is stronger and usually faster to dry and gain the maximum strength such as C50 for offshore bridges, tunnels and retention walls.
