Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (gfrg) which is reinforced with glass fiber and added with suitable additives to improve their performance. the existing system of gfrg is in the form of large panels with a length of 12 metre and width of 3 metre. the gfrg panels are having satisfactory performance compared to the conventional methods but the drawback is difficulty in transportation and the requirement of skilled labours. to eliminate this problem the size of gfrg is reduced and panels are replaced by hollow bricks. the gfrg hollow bricks are bricks with cavities which is filled by concrete with vertical reinforcement in the cavities which will provide easy method of transportation and installation which can be done by ordinary masons. the gfrg hollow bricks are not only eco-friendly but also resistant to heat, corrosion, termites, rot, water and fire. these bricks are also cost effective compared to ordinary concrete hollow bricks. since the surface have smooth finishing, plastering can be avoided. the gfrg hollow bricks are an effective construction method for future construction activities.
