GLASS FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE ABSTRACT:- Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete or GRC is one of the most versatile building materials available to architects and engineers. Composed principally of cement, sand and special alkali resistant (AR) glassfibres, GRC is a thin, high strength concrete with many applications in construction.The GRC-Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete, which was first invented by 'pilkington' in UK and developed successfully by rest of the continent, is a product having unique combination of properties unchallenged by any other existing material in the construction industry. Glass Fibre Concrete can be moulded into wide varieties of shapes and contours to become an architectural element of any building. In fact CRC is tailor made; it can take any profile or shape as per consumer's requirement. This flexibility is what gives the material its tremendous demand in a wide ranging variety of applications. INTRODUCTION :- WHAT'S GRC? Glass Fibre Reinforced C

interview Quetions What are the steps involved in the concreting process, explain? The major steps involved in the process of concreting are as follows: 1. Batching 2. Mixing 3. Transporting and placing of concrete 4. Compacting. 1. Batching: The process of measurement of the different materials for the making of concrete is known as batching. batching is usually done in two ways: volume batching and weight batching. In case of volume batching the measurement is done in the form of volume whereas in the case of weight batching it is done by the weight. 2.Mixing: In order to create good concrete the mixing of the materials should be first done in dry condition and after it wet condition. The two general methods of mixing are: hand mixing and machine mixing. 3. Transportation and placing of concrete: Once the concrete mixture is created it must be transported to its final location. The concrete is placed on form works and should always be dropped on its final location as closely as p
