Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a building structure, and more particularly to a connection structure for GRC decorative components on the exterior of a building. Background Technology
[0002] GRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) components are a type of building material characterized by their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in construction, municipal engineering, and landscaping. When using GRC components in building construction, the method of fixing them is crucial. Generally, the fixing methods for GRC components mainly include the following:
[0003] 1. Embedded method: GRC components are embedded into the building structure and integrated with solid base materials such as concrete, such as walls and floors.
[0004] 2. Dry hanging method: Specific mounting brackets are set on the outer layer of the wall structure, and GRC components are suspended on the brackets and fixed with stainless steel expansion bolts, U-shaped clips and other fixing tools. It is usually suitable for exterior walls.
[0005] 3. Adhesion method: GRC components are directly adhered to the building structure foundation, such as on balconies, eaves, etc.
[0006] 4. Cast-in-place method: Precast GRC components are used together with formwork structures and fixed in the building structure after concrete is poured. This method is usually suitable for positioning large building components.

The embedding part 561 is embedded in the second U-shaped groove 54, and the contact part 562 contacts the first vertical part 42.
[0029] In this invention, the filler material 7 is a foam rod and a sealant. The foam rod is used to fill the material first, and then the sealant is applied to its surface.
[0030] exist Figure 1 The document describes an installation method for GRC component 1 as a strip, which can be applied when the strip is installed longitudinally, such as... Figure 2 As shown, multiple connection components 2 can be set as needed, and the installation method is the same.
[0031] Of course, this utility model also adjusts the position of the fourth connector 6 according to the center of gravity of the GRC component 1, such as... Figure 1 In the case where the center of gravity of the GRC component 1 is located at the lower end, the fourth connector 6 is located at the lower end of the GRC component 1. At this time, the lower end of the connecting part 51 of the third connector 5 is provided with an extension 55, and the extension 55 is connected and fixed to the back of the GRC component 1 by a stainless steel back bolt. When the center of gravity of the GRC component 1 is located at the upper end, the fourth connector 6 is located at the upper end of the GRC component 1. At this time, the extension 55 is not required on the third connector 5.
[0032] In this invention, a fiberglass fall arrestor net is provided in the GRC component 1 to prevent the GRC component 1 from breaking. The fiberglass fall arrestor net can be embedded in the GRC component 1 or attached to the back of the GRC component 1.
[0033] After being attached, this utility model provides support to the GRC component through the support arm, and then fixes the GRC component through the fourth connector 6 to prevent the aluminum alloy hanger from falling off due to uneven force or upward force, thereby improving the stability of the GRC component.
