IMPACT TESTS

The GRC screens were tested against impact test.

Normally this test was never carried out since GRC is a cladding material and it is not suppose to carry an impact. However since it was a client's requirement, this test was conducted in consultation with Glass fibber Reinforced Concrete Federation, UK (GFRC).

The test was conducted using impact weight of 5 Kg , 10 Kg and 20 Kg at different height and distance. Each impact was repeated for 6 times and GRC screen was inspected after every cycle.

The first impact was done with 5 kg sand bag at 0.5 m and 1.2 m from base.
Test - 1st Impact Cycle with 05 Kg weight & 0.5 m height & distance

The second impact cycle was made with 10 kg at same high and distance.
View Test - 2nd Impact Cycle with 10 Kg weight & 1.0 m height & distance

View Test - 2nd Impact Cycle with 10 Kg weight & 1.2 m height & distance


The third impact cycle was made with 20 Kg at similar height & distance.
View Test - 3rd Impact Cycle with 20 Kg weight & 0.5 m height & distance

View Test - 3rd Impact Cycle with 20 Kg weight & 1.4 m height & distance

For understanding of the impact load, a 20 Kg impact at 1 m height and distance from the base will punchers 40 mm thick solid core wooden door. Grc Testing
