GRCA Methods of Testing GRC

Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is an important building material which came into prominence in the early 1970`s. The GRCA Methods of Testing Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Material define the procedures to be used when testing GRC as a material. The methods given here are those normally used in Quality Control situations and it is the intention of the GRCA to issue other standard test procedures covering different properties where necessary. Tests on the constituent material of GRC are not included in this standard. Also, certain products or applications using GRC may require different test on the finished products. These are outside the scope of this document. In its preparation the GRCA Technical Group has kept in touch with organisations preparing GRC Standards in other countries in an attempt to ensure that the procedures given here do not differ markedly from those used outside the UK.
