GRC is a mixture of glass fibre embedded with concrete mix. In this mix, both glass and fibre retain their physical and chemical properties.

·         Able to absorb shock and does not require other materials to provide support

·         Environment -friendly as it is an inorganic material 

·         Works as a thermal regulator protecting materials from heat

·         Versatile in nature and can be designed in any shape and size

·         GRC material requires a lot of planning beforehand, since it is manufactured in form of precast.

·         This material though is cost effective, however when compared to plain concrete, it can be little expensive.

·         Possibility of losing strength with time therefore good research and planning needs to be done during the designing stage.
