• Wu and Dare (2004)- have carried out axial and shear load
tests on GFRG wall panels of standard 2.85 m height. The
width of panel specimens was 1.02 m for axial load tests, 1.52
m and 2.02 m for shear load tests. They have reported that
under axial load, unfilled GFRG wall panels failed due to
plaster crushing, irrespective of the eccentricity of axial load.
• Wu (2004) has reported that there are two types of shear
failure modes in a building constructed with GFRG walls.
• The first mode is the shear failure of the panel itself.
• second is shear sliding at the interface of a wall and the floor
slab.
• The continuity of longitudinal reinforcement at the horizontal
joint may affect the shear strength of both the failure modes
Experimental observation
• GFRG panel were collected and various physical properties of the
panel were tested
• GFRG panels are light weight building material which can be used
as wall and roof slab.
• Compressive strength of GFRG panel was obtained as 1.31 N/mm2 .
• Water absorption value was obtained as 1.29 %.
• The flexural value of empty panel was 2.02kNm.
• GFRG panels were used replacing various bricks used for walls.
• GFRG panels can be used as both load bearing walls and non-load
bearing walls.
• They can be used in the areas which have been struck with
calamities and for restoring the lifeline of the area rapidly.
Results Discussion
• GFRG enables fast track method of construction it minimized
the construction by 15-20%.
• Apart from resistance to axial compression and out of
plane bending, GFRG panels with reinforced concrete in are
also efficient in resisting in-plane bending and shear generated
by lateral loads due to earthquake.
• It has excellent acoustic properties and also protect the
environment from carbon emission.
Its an resistant to natural disasters like fire,earthquick,cyclone
etc.
Conclusion/Future scope
• GFRP deck panel can be used effectively in offshore
structures such as pontoons,floating docks oil drilling
platforms because the GFRP performs better in terms of
resistance to corrosion in aggressive environment.
• good fatigue strength high stiffness to weight ratio
reduce maintains cost and the greater capacity.
