3 Introduction Thin concrete permanent formwork and other structural elements Minimum cover for durability; For aggressive environments, minimum 100mm thickness GFRC is lightweight, high strength and has excellent resistance to corrosion FRP reinforcement can be used to structurally reinforce GFRC to enable the development of much larger spans

6 Bond behaviour in GFRC Dongbu Corporation MATERIALS - W/C = 0.35, S/C = f c = 54 and 66 MPa - f ct = 6 and 7MPa (by Brazilian Test ) -f t_steel = 500 MPa, f t_gfrp = 900 MPa - E GFRP = 41 GPa, E steel = 205 GPa Summary of test results Specimen type Strength (MPa) Bond strength, t (MPa) Normalised bond strength, t (MPa) GFRC GFRC Plain concrete GFRP reinforced GFRC similar to steel RC Pull-out resistance of FRP is greater in GFRC (by 16%)

7 Optimised Section Dongbu Corporation Thin GFRC section (t = 10 mm) was chosen after an optimisation exercise* was undertaken to identify the sections that minimise weight for a particular span * Kim, G. B., Development of thin FRP GFRC permanent formwork systems PhD Thesis,, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Sheffield, UK, 2006.

9 GFRC tensile characteristics Dongbu Corporation To evaluate the GFRC tensile characteristics GFRC panel (L15G3) Reinforced with 3% (by weight) of chopped glass fibre Length of panel = 1500 mm Four point loads test

11 Deflections of FRP GFRC Dongbu Corporation Two GFRC panels (L30G2, L30G3) Reinforced with 2 and 3% (by weight) of chopped glass fibre Single 8mm square rebar Length of panel = 3000 mm Four point loads test

12 Deflections of FRP GFRC Both panels achieved remarkable deformations up to about 110mm before shear failure Excessive deformation is normally the governing design criterion for thin permanent formwork, especially for long spans Acceptance deflection limits for this type are limited to L / 250

21 Conclusions For design purposes for FRP RC GFRC - Modified ACI 440 equation can be used for deflections and crack widths - Modified RILEM TC162 equations can be used for shear For building slabs up to 200mm thick, W shape - Without reinforcement SS up to 2.23m; Reinforced up to 3.85m, - With intermediate support and EBR, a total span of 10m is possible. A 3.29m by 0.5m panel weights less that 55kg and can be put in place by two men For bridge slabs up to 500mm thick, - Without reinforcement SS up to 1.43m; Reinforced up to 2.66m, - With intermediate support and EBR, a total span of 7.8m is possible.
