GFRG Panel

GFRG Construction Site

 

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) is made with gypsum plasters reinforced with glass fibers. The panels are empty and can be used as load bearing walls. The empty cores inside the walls can be filled with reinforced concrete. The GFRG panel is an Australian technology. It was first invented by the GFRG building system Australia in 1990.1000 square feet, 3BHK total built cost approximately 18 Lakhs.

Advantages of GFRG panel:

• GFRG panels is, it is 25% less cost than normal conventional constructions.
• Get more carpet space by using GFRG panels.
• Very fast construction.
• Less number of workers required than normal construction.
• It reduces transportation cost of sand and cement.
• Easy for the installation of strong elements without extra support.
• GFRG panel is lightweight and strong.
• Excellent dimensional stability and durability.
• Fire resistant
• Eco-friendly
• Earthquake resistance
• Termite resistance
• Water resistance

Disadvantages of GFRG panels:

• The temporary workers or a planner may require talented laborers to deal with the establishment and working with these panels as it is somewhat more complicated than the wide range of various materials.
• There is a considerable amount of enumerating and planning needed in the GFRG panel which can build the development cost, so consistently counsel your engineer for getting a statement for the panels that you may have to utilize.
• As it is produced using the fiber material, it is delicate and should be dealt with shipping or stacking it.
• There are explicit apparatuses needed for cutting the GFRG panels.
• These panels cannot be utilized for the dividers that have higher or circular bend.
• The workers must be cautious during the erection cycle of these panels.
• The cranes need more space for development while introducing these panels.

The GFRG dividers are intended to oppose pivotal power from gravity loads, horizontal in-plane shear power and in-plane twisting second from wind and seismic burdens. The in-plane bowing limit of the divider relies upon its length, the support is given, just as the degree of pivotal burden and horizontal shear. The estimations of mud and in-plane shear strength increment with the length of the divider. 

Plan collaboration bends are shaped for different lengths of GFRG boards (from1.0 m to 3.5 m wide) in light of the primary necessities and the plan cooperation bends, the time period infilling and the size of fortification to be given in dividers are chosen. The pits in the GFRG divider boards will be filled, any place primarily needed, with cement of evaluation at the very least M20, utilizing a total of size under 12mm. 

For up to 3 storeyed high low ascent GFRG structures there is no compelling reason to infill all holes with strengthened cement. 

The GFRG board building can be developed quick utilizing the crane. It is prudent to raise the boards without eliminating entryway/window cut pieces from the board. This will keep the board in equilibrium and help to find the focal point of gravity of the divider board. When the board is acquired position, the plumb and level are to be checked. These props can be taken out once the boards are in-loaded up with cement and gain adequate horizontal strength.
