Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) materials are |
|
investigated for potential use in military construction, |
|
especially as exterior building panels. Because GFRC |
|
technology is relatively new, long-term durability data |
|
are lacking. However, reliable aging tests have been |
|
designed that allow the material's performance to be |
|
predicted past the 50-year lifetime required for military |
|
construction. Results indicate GFRC panels are suitable |
|
for use in military construction. The materials may, in |
|
many cases, provide an economical alternative to |
|
conventional construction. The recommendation for their |
|
acceptance includes the stipulation that proven methods |
|
to be used in the panels' design and application (e.g. |
|
steel stud frame backup and L anchors). |
