The International Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete Association (GRCA)’s Post

#GRCA #TechnicalTuesday; "Frequently Asked Questions" The The International Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete Association (GRCA) has a wide range of technical documents in a techNOTE series which feature advice on most aspects of glassfibre reinforced concrete #GRC / #GFRC specification, manufacture and use. If the answers to your GRC questions are not available in the techNOTEs then please look at the "Frequently Asked Questions" page at https://lnkd.in/e_HJsRBQ to see if the answer is given there.

#GRCA #TechnicalTuesday; "Impact Resistance of GRC" The International Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete Association (GRCA) has a range of technical documents in its techNOTE series which feature advice on most aspects of glassfibre reinforced concrete #GRC / #GFRC specification, manufacture and use. The sixteenth in the series techNOTE 16 focuses on the Impact Resistance of GRC. It serves as an overview of previously established data, in addition to evaluating test results from impact tests undertaken by several manufacturers that maintain the Full Member grade status of GRCA.

Want to know the environmental impacts of a metal building system? The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) has you covered with its environmental product declarations (EPDs) for Primary Structural Steel Frame Components, Secondary Structural Steel Frame Components, which includes cold-formed steel "cee" and "zee" shaped purlins and girts, and Roll Formed Metal Wall and Roof Panels. These are available at https://lnkd.in/gHzqwciM. If that’s not enough, MBMA also has a life cycle assessment (LCA) report for these components at https://lnkd.in/gQHYfKpc. There is also industry-wide life cycle inventory (LCI) data that is available and listed on the www.nrel.gov/lci website for the following four categories: Primary Structural, Secondary Structural, Metal Roof Panel, and Metal Wall Panel. #LifeCycleAssesment #EnvironmentalProductDeclaration #MetalBuilding

🏗 Exciting news for Australian construction and engineers! The Australian standard AS5204 for Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (Fibreglass / GFRP / FRP) reinforcing bar is available now. GFRP rebar is used in concrete, in replacement of steel, to provide greater durability, longevity, and corrosion resistance. The new standard provides a specification for GFRP rebar to enable more widespread use in Australian applications, where reinforcing bar durability and longevity are paramount. This standard is another positive step for engineers working on infrastructure projects, facilitating the use of a corrosion-resistant rebar alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 Mateenbar™ GFRP rebar is MANUFACTURED DOWNUNDER for projects throughout Australia and New Zealand. If you’re working on any project where rebar corrosion is a concern, get in touch to discuss the viability of Mateenbar™ for your project. #Australianstandards #FRPbars #Construction #concretestructures Pultron Composites Ltd #buildwithconfidence #structuralengineering #coastalengineering #ASTM #StandardsAustralia
