Introduction
The classification covers all GRC formulation and production processes.
The properties of GRC depend on:
a) the constituent materials used,
b) the composition of glassfibre reinforced concrete,
c) the production processes.
The classification of GRC is based on the material properties that can be achieved.

4 Properties of glassfibre reinforced concrete
4.1 Characteristics of composite material
Glassfibre reinforced concrete is a composite material for which the glassfibre has the function of a
reinforcement for the cementitious matrix.
The properties of the composite material as manufactured depend on:
a) the properties of the matrix as base,
b) the properties, geometry, quantity and orientation of the glassfibre as reinforcement,
c) the bond between matrix and glassfibre,
d) the manufacturing processes,
e) the conditions and the treatments during production (curing).
The mechanical properties of GRC depend on the mix design and shall be consistent with the product
requirements.
4.2 GRC with oriented fibres
Processes using oriented fibres may result in mechanical properties that differ from the above. The
achievable properties depend on the following factors:
a) geometry of the product,
b) direction of the oriented fibres,
c) position and cross section of the oriented fibres in the product.
In case of oriented fibres, the position of the test pieces in the test according to EN 1170 is defined by the
orientation of the fibres. In this case the classification of GRC is related to the direction of the fibre in the
test.
5 Classification of GRC
5.1 Classification according to mechanical properties
Glassfibre reinforced concrete is classified in accordance with this standard on the basis of the σ and
LOP
σ values as its material specific properties as determined in accordance with EN 1170.
