INTRODUCTION
Is a concrete mix that contains short discrete fibers, uniformly
distributed and randomly oriented
 Aims to produce stronger and tougher concrete
 Can add to the tensile loading capacity of the composite system
 4 types of FRC
 Steel Fibers(SFRC0
 Glass Fibers(GFRC)
 Synthetic Fibers(SFRC)
 Natural Fibers(NFRC)
ADVANTAGE

• Faster installation time.

• Lightweight material.
• Resistance to corrosion & very little maintenance.
• Cost savings.
• Design flexibility.
DISADVANTAGE

• Greater reduction of workability

• High cost of the materials
• At high temperatures the material's strength decreases and deflection increases.
FRP MADE PROCESS
• Reinforcement
• Wet-out
• Surface veil
• Curing 
• Cutting
REINFORCEMENT

The process typically starts by pulling in two

forms of fiberglass reinforcement .Creels of
fiberglass roving provide unidirectional strength
along the length of the profile ,and rolls of woven
fiberglass amt provide multidirectional
reinforcement..
WET-OUT

The fiberglass reinforcement are

pulled through a baths of thermoset
resin-typically polyester or
vinylester-as well as pigments to add
color, filler to enhance properties,
and a catalyst to aid in curing
SURFACE VEIL

Just before all the materials is pulled into

the heated die, surface veil is added to
enhance the surface appearance of the
final product. 
CURING

Wet-out reinforcements are pulled

through the heated pultrusion die,
which begins the thermosetting
process that causes the resin to
"cure" or harden. By the time the part
exits the die ,a solid , rigid profile in
the exact shape of the die cavity has
been formed with all the
reinforcements laminated inside.
CUTTING
• The finished product is then pulled to the
cutt-off saw and cut to the designed length.
After cutting, it is placed in stock at one of
our warehouses, sent to our state-of-the-art
fabrication center for secondary processing,
or created for shipment to the customer
 FRC-very costly

Normal apply on bridge constructions

CONCLUSION the ability to sustain a load without

excessive deformation or

failure.

Architects used it as siding, roofing,

flooring and partitions.
