What is Fiber-C ?

FIBRE C is this new material...a concrete panel reinforced with glassfibres which combines the advantages of concrete and glassfibres in one product, that was sponsoring the competition of the AA pavilion, in order to discover new uses and applications.... this guys (of the pavilion) have a blog up and everything.... mmhhh i hink right here:

check it out, u understand the thingy better than from that PDF....

ok, im done here.... enjoy!

I'd seen this project before, but I never knew how it was to be assembled.

Cool stuff, per is gonna flip again though.

I like the aproach with reinforcment , guess this has been on it's way since the first test cast of concrete reinforced with various replacement for steel rods made a plaster capable of casting a plank , where such one would easily break in just concrete , was used to prove the strength of such moldable concrete.

Only for me sheet of that would be all nessery, why mold and cast standard units, when sheets can be cut to form what ever. Exiting every time new materials allow further possibilities.

Madianito,
That fibre c...it reminds of a new product coming out of China called "dragonboard"...

Dragon board doesnty have the fibers, I guess.

I wonder that the ratio of fiberglass to concrete is, more or less than traditional GFRC

my experience with GFRC in the past is to use it for the structural skin sprayed over EPS panels for the Strata wall/floor/roof building system
