Technology Introduction
Ultra-High Performance Concrete
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an enhanced fibrous and cementitious concrete with high compressive strength (120–250 MPa) , particle packing density (0.825–0.855), tensile strength (15–20 MPa) , and extraordinary durability. UHPC has 300 times the ductility and energy absorption of high performance concrete (HPC) and 3 to 16 times the compressive strength of regular concrete. Because of its outstanding mechanical qualities as well as its superior ductility and toughness under tension, UHPC is often regarded as the material of choice when it comes to seismic design reasons. UHPC is characterized by its constituent material make-up: typically fine-grained sand, fumed silica, small steel fibers, and special blends of high-strength Portland cement. Note that there is no large aggregate. UHPC is a feasible option for enhancing the long-term viability of buildings and infrastructure facilities.
GlassFiber Reinforced Gypsum
GlassFiber Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) is a composite material consisting of gypsum casting plaster and glass fibre matting that reinforces the structure of the overall material. It’s more durable than many forms of traditional plasterwork, can offer smoother finishes, and has higher impact resistance. The material properties of GRG include their high strength, high density, and lightweight.The high strength and surface hardness offers fantastic durability to the product once it has been installed, while its flexibility during the moulding process also means it is easy to handle. This allows for the creation of practically any shape or design in a short amount of time and a cost-effective manner. Being lightweight, the material also offers a faster, less-labour intensive installation, which reduces the costs involved with completing the work. GRG is also a Class 0 fire rated material, meaning that it is completely fire retardant. GRG is also easily dressed and decorated to match most design concepts requested, including being painted in a range of styles and colours to replicate certain natural materials and textures.
GlassFiber Reinforced Concrete
GlassFiber reinforced concrete (GRC) is a fiber concrete composite material with alkali-resistant glass fiber as reinforcement material and cement mortar as matrix material, mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. GRC has the following advantages: strong plasticity, thin structure and light weight, good weather resistance, good fire resistance, environmental protection and no radiation and good earthquake resistance. GRC is incredibly versatile and has a large number of use cases due to its strength, weight, and design. It's used in very demanding cases such as architectural cladding that's hanging several stories above sidewalks or even more for aesthetics such as interior furniture pieces like GFRC coffee tables, GRC Jali, Elevation screens. The glass fiber reinforced concrete not only reduces the cost of concrete but also enhances its strength.
