Description

Glass fiber reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) panel is a new building panel product, where there is
a tremendous need for cost-effective mass-scale affordable housing. GFRG panel otherwise
called Rapidwall, is a vitality effective green building material with gigantic potential for use
as load bearing and non load bearing wall panels. They are load bearing panels with cavities
suitable for both external and internal walls. It can likewise be used as intermediate floor
slab/roof slab in combination with RCC as a composite material. They are not only eco-
friendly, but also resistant to termites, heat, rot, corrosion, water and fire. Concrete infill with
vertical reinforcement rods enhances its vertical and lateral load capabilities. The present
project deals with the static analysis of G+4 multistoried building. The plan for this building
was prepared using AUTOCAD software and the analysis of the building was done using
ETABS. The structural elements were designed manually. The design has been done
according to the Limit state method and confirming to Indian standard code IS 456- 2000.
