Enhanced Performance of Exterior Building Facades with FRP Composite Materials
The appeal of utilizing fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials as substitutes for traditional architectural construction materials lies in their remarkable durability. FRP materials possess noncorrosive properties, are lightweight, boast hightensile strength and stiffness, and are easily fabricated and constructed. Specifically designed for architectural applications, FRP materials undergo fabrication using a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, vinylester, or polyester, and are reinforced with varying grades of carbon, glass, and/or aramid fibers. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the incorporation of FRP as cladding or panel materials in architectural construction, delving into the associated benefits. The focus is on the advantages of FRP composite panels, with particular attention to glass FRP (GFRP) materials due to their economic viability compared to other FRP types (carbon and aramid). GFRP emerges as a more appealing option for architectural applications and the construction industry. The review extends to the discussion of GFRP panels in the context of exterior architectural applications, drawing insights from three global real projects. The construction process and on-site application under real-world conditions reveal that FRP panels demonstrate excellent and promising performance.
