Hello Civiea users. I am interested in books about ''Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), Polymere Concrete'' mix design books.
For those who dont know what this kind of concrete is. These kind of concrete are widly used to replace Marble ard Ceramik and porcelain in farious filed like bathroom Sinks production, bath tubes productions and things like that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

GUIDANCE DOCUMENT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRUCTURAL EUROCODES
Author: Mark Neave, Peter Clapham, Jon Shave, Steve Denton, Chris Hendy | Size: 2.11 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ADEPT | Year: 2010 | pages: 190
The implementation of Eurocodes will bring significant changes to how structures are designed and specified. This in turn raises the need for changes in processes for the procurement, technical control and management of the design and construction of structures. ADEPT members, as structures owners, will be assessing the changes required to their policies and procedures due to the implementation. A central ADEPT guidance document will support a common understanding among ADEPT members and a consistent approach to the implementation of Eurocodes and management of their impacts on the procurement, design and construction of structures. The main purpose of this guidance document is to provide ADEPT members with clear and authoritative guidance and recommendations on addressing the issues arising from the implementation of Eurocodes. The document includes an overview of the Eurocodes, their legal status and implementation requirements, identifies the necessary changes in established processes and procedures, and highlights specific challenges for local authorities, and how these can be tackled effectively. The document also aims to assess and analyse the different needs of various groups of staff for Eurocode training, and offers guidance on the development of training programmes for both technical and non-technical staff, to enable them to reach a level of awareness, knowledge and understanding appropriate to their role, in a timely and cost-effective way. The guidance offered is not prescriptive, but rather enables ADEPT members to adapt the implementation approach to meet their own particular needs and circumstances. The guidance will provide a framework for specific policies on Eurocode implementation to be drafted by individual ADEPT members. It should be noted that the main focus of this document is on policies and principles, not technical details – although the training programmes outlined will enable those who need to have detailed technical knowledge to identify the most appropriate sources of information and guidance. The information provided may form the basis for future regional workshops to disseminate knowledge and experience, and should enable readers to hold informed conversations regarding the implementation and use of Eurocodes. Specific guidance on key roles undertaken by ADEPT members, and the challenges presented by the change, are also considered, for example, in relation to the Technical Approval process.

Much has been written in the trade press and in research papers regarding the potential for prefabricated and off-site methods of manufacture to bring both increased speed and enhanced quality to UK construction projects. The Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions (DETR) and the precast concrete industry have noted this interest and have been pro-active in seeking to establish the true extent of this trade and public interest in factory production techniques. These techniques have been supported by Sir John Egan’s ‘Rethinking Construction’ report as the way forward for improving quality and speed of construction. House building in the UK is a major industry but much potential exists to further develop the design, construction, procurement and aftercare of new build homes. The basic construction technology used relies mainly on traditional skills and materials; these are still used in the majority of new housing projects. Although the construction industry has previously been known for its tardiness in adopting new techniques, there is renewed interest in assessing the scope for prefabrication and industrialised building techniques. It is with this background that the Precast Housing Feasibility Study Group was established in March 1999 to review the use of precast concrete in the low-rise domestic housing market, as individual components or as integrated modular forms of construction. The findings of the Precast Housing Feasibility Study Group are presented in this publication which aims to assess the feasibility of using precast concrete elements to build cost effective and aesthetically pleasing low-rise dwellings that meet occupiers’ expectations and comply with the Building Regulations.
