Pushover Analysis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Panel as an Infill Material.

Abstract

Glass fibered reinforced gypsum (GFRG) panels are made from gypsum plaster reinforced with chopped glass fibers used as a rapid wall structure construction. Generally at present India country some parts considered as a high seismic zone so different methods of construction and materials are finding out which increases earthquake resistance of structure. This review paper explains the behavior of glass fibered reinforced gypsum (GFRG) panels as an infill material replaced by brick in different lateral resisting tall structure building. GFRG panels are laterally stiffened and light weight material which reduces the dead load of a building structure as compare to brick masonry. The pushover analysis using ATC-40 and FEMA-440 to glass fibered reinforced gypsum (GFRG) panel showed a lateral deformation feature and the distribution of axial forces and shear forces.
