Substitute Material of Cement: Glass Fiber Reinforced

The facades of the buildings that make up our cities protect the buildings from physical interactions such as air and water, while at the same time they add prestige to the building. While the interior design of the buildings is known only by their users, their facades are perceived by everyone who uses the city. Facade designs are very important especially for architects. Architects aim to make their buildings noticeable in the city with their different building facade designs. In this context, glass fiber reinforced concrete facades which provide different colors, patterns, textures and curvatures (single, double and free) can meet these demands to a great extent. The panels preferred by many famous architects or designers come to the forefront with its service life, impact resistance, production quality and production speed. In this study, the application areas of glass fiber reinforced concrete, the formal possibilities, advantages and disadvantages it provides will be examined
