TECHNO-ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY OF MODERN GFRG PANELS

Abstract

Abstract: The construction industry everywhere faces problems and challenges. However, in developing countries like India, these difficulties and challenges are present alongside a general situation of socio-economic stress, chronic resource shortages, institutional weaknesses and a general inability to deal with the key issues. There is also evidence that the problems have become greater in extent and severity in recent years. Traditionally materials like clay, sand, stone, gravels, cement, brick, block, tiles, distemper, paint, timber and steel are being used as major building components in construction sector. All these materials have been produced from the existing natural resources and will have intrinsic distinctiveness for damaging the environment due to their continuous exploitation. The cost of construction materials is increasing incrementally. The need of the 21st century is for energy efficient and ecofriendly products. The building industry accounts for 40% of CO2 emissions. Rapid wall, also called GFRG panel is an energy used as intermediary floor slab/roof slab in combination with RCC as a composite material. Since the advent of innovative Rapid wall panel in 1990 in Australia, it has been used for buildings ranging from single storey to medium -high rise buildings. Light weighted Rapid wall has high compressive strength, shearing strength, flexural strength and ductility. It has very high level of resistance to fire, heat, water, termites, rot and corrosion. Concrete infill with vertical reinforcement rods enhances its vertical and lateral load capabilities. Rapid wall buildings efficient green building material with huge potential. It is use as load bearing and non-load bearing wall panels. Rapid wall is a large load bearing panel which have modular cavities suitable for both external and internal walls. It can also be are resistant to earthquakes, cyclones and fire.
