Content Description

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: AD-EN-167703-0525

Advanced Architectural Stone Throughout history, concrete mixes and carved natural stone have combined to create substance, beauty, and longevity in our architecture. Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) was created to ensure that the attributes of concrete and stone continue to be enjoyed but with efficiency in the application that is expected in today's world of design. This course covers the creation of GFRC, its components, fabrication, applications, and design capabilities. It compares GFRC to other types of architectural concrete and presents GFRC performance and sustainable design advantages. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Summarize the GFRC fabrication process, including the integration of supports and connections, and its impact on the safety and speed of construction.
  • Discuss GFRC's water- and fire-resistant properties and how it can be designed for hurricane-wind and earthquake protection, increasing building occupant safety.
  • Explain how GFRC's mix design, light weight, load-carrying capacity, thermal mass, and casting options contribute to sustainable design objectives related to occupant comfort, CO2 emissions, material use, and energy efficiency.
  • Use project examples to illustrate the advantages realized with GFRC columns and cladding, and fa?ade, rainscreen, louver, and perforated panels.

Faculty BIO

Tim has been in the cast stone and GFRC industry since 1991, beginning as a detailer and moving into plant management. He has been involved in thousands of projects across the US, bringing technology, tools, and equipment to the industry. Advanced Architectural Stone has created a very successful marketing plan to ship product throughout the US. AAS is the market leader and largest cast stone and architectural GFRC manufacturer in the US.
