Abstract

In the 1940’s, potential of glass as a construction material was realized and improvement continued with the addition of zirconium dioxide in 1960's for harsh alkali conditions. To enhance durability of materials, new generation of glass fibres directed to improvement process. In this way, glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) was started to produce for the satisfaction of different demands. Scientific studies and tests on the GFRC have shown that the physical and mechanical properties of the GFRC change depending on the quality of the materials and the accuracy of the production methods. GFRC can be used wherever a light, strong, fire resistant, weather resistant, attractive, impermeable material is needed. As technology advances, it is possibly expected to build the whole building and complex freeform with low cost. In recent years, the effect of glass fibres in hybrid mixtures has been investigated for high-performance concrete (HPC), an emerging technology termed, which has become popular in the construction industry.

Cam Lif Takviyeli Beton (GFRC)

Abstract

1940’lı yıllarda camın bir yapı malzemesi olarak sahip olduğu potansiyelinin farkına varılmış ve 1960’larda zirkonyum dioksit katkısıyla iyileştirmelere devam edilmiştir. Malzemelerin kimyasal dayanımını arttırmak için yeni nesil cam lifleri, söz konusu iyileştirme sürecine dâhil edilmişlerdir. Böylece, arzu edilen beklentileri karşılamak üzere cam takviyeli beton üretimi başlamıştır. Bu grup beton üzerine gerçekleştirilen bilimsel araştırma ve testler cam lifle kuvvetlendirilmiş betonun fiziksel ve mekanik özelliklerinin kullanılan malzemelerin kalitesine ve üretim yönteminin hassasiyetine bağlı olarak değiştiğini göstermiştir. Böylesi betonlar, hafif, sağlam, ateşe ve hava koşullarına karşı dayanıklı, sızdırmaz malzeme ihtiyacı doğduğunda kullanılabilirlik arz etmektedirler. Teknoloji ilerlerken bir binanın tamamının cam takviyeli betonlarla düşük maliyetle yapımının mümkün olabileceği beklentisi de artmaktadır. Geçtiğimiz yıllarda cam elyafların hibrid karışımlardaki etkisi yüksek performanslı beton elde etmek amacıyla araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu yeni teknoloji inşaat sektöründe popüler hale gelmiştir.
