THE POSSIBILITY OF USING FIBER GLASS REINFORCED CONCRETE IN CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRANSITIONAL PHASE BUILDINGS IN EGYPT

Within the scope of the concrete industry, modern materials have been developed in the twentieth
century as alternativesfor natural building elements such as stones and marble. Fiberglass-reinforced
concrete has contributed economically, technically and aesthetically to these alternatives for more
than 30 years of continuous development.
Fiberglass-reinforced concrete is considered one of the most common materials in the modern
building world and has significantly influenced the development of architectural thought. This
material has made the leap from the ambitions of architectural engineers to technical formations and
coatings in facades, it has also been used in low-cost buildings to address youth housing problems.
This research consider studies the possibility of using fiberglass reinforced concrete construction
units for ceilings and walls in temporary housing, in Egypt through architectural and constructional
requirements for a high-quality constructed building.
