Superior properties of GRC materials in building curtain walls:
1. Flexural strength>18Mpa, 5 times that of ordinary concrete and 2 times that of stone;
2. Rich texture and color;
3. Lightweight and high strength can increase the speed of construction;
4. Plasticity is very suitable for nonlinear modern architecture and sculpture architecture;
5. Chemical corrosion resistance: alkali-resistant glass fiber will not rust as easily as steel bars in concrete;
6. Good weather resistance: suitable for various climate environments;
7. GRC materials are Class A non-combustible materials;
8. GRC can be used to make unit curtain walls and prefabricated houses with integrated insulation and decoration;
9. The surface can achieve insulation and self-cleaning functions through self-compacting treatment and the addition of inorganic nanomaterials.
This project is a new multi-storey building: including art activity area, comprehensive gymnasium, student activity area, etc. The facade is designed to be composed of more than 1,560 irregular triangular windows. The lowest temperature in Hohhot is minus 25℃ to 45℃. Due to such climate environment and creative facade effect, it is determined that the GRC panels need to be made into an integrated thermal insulation decoration, and the glass doors and windows need to be fixed on the GRC thermal insulation decorative panels. The area of the GRC panels is 36,000 M2, the number of panels is 3,600, and the construction period is 100 days.
