Expert Commentary
Covers the Flexural Properties of Thin-Section Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). GFRC is used for architectural facades. The test is a 4-point bend on thin strips. The Engineer-to-Engineer takeaway is the LOP (Limit of Proportionality) and the MOR (Modulus of Rupture). Our software automatically detects the Knee in the curve where the concrete cracks and the fibers take over the load, which is the primary design metric for GFRC panels.
