Fiberglass concrete - design and sizing

Increasingly, a resource- and mass-saving construction method is required. This can be realized with thin-walled elements made of textile and fiberglass concrete.

The Fachvereinigung Faserbeton e.V. (FVF) has reissued its standard work "Glasfaserbeton - Konstruieren und bemessen."

The completely revised 2nd edition provides planning offices and engineers with a valuable foundation when designing the exterior and interior of buildings and building components with this exciting and versatile material. The material has seen growing interest among both experienced and aspiring architects and designers over the past 30 years.

Compared to the first edition of 1994, the author, Dipl.-Ing. (ETH) Peter Curiger, has in particular deepened the manufacturing processes and fastening techniques and adapted them to the current state of the art. Special attention is paid to design based on current safety concepts. To revise the book, the author drew on his 20 years of experience as a technical manager in the precast concrete industry and on the extensive, widely distributed know-how of the FVF members, who represent the entire production and application range of fiberglass concrete.

At 193 pages, the book covers the full spectrum of textile and fiberglass concrete technology.

A total of 319 illustrations and graphics memorably present the basic principles of material behavior and production techniques. Numerous photographs of application examples and construction details round out the compendium of the innovative fiberglass concrete material.
