Best Answer

NO.
GFRC stands for glass fiber reinforced concrete. Precast is concrete (typically reinforced with steel) poured at a factory (rather than cast at the job site)
For GFRC information see http:/www.strombergarchitectural.com/materials/gfrc for gfrc guidebooks, technical information etc.

What is GFRC?

The meaning of GFRC is Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, in some areas of the world known as GRC or Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete. GFRC / GRC is concrete manufactured with a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, water, chemical admixtures and alkali resistant glassfibres. GFRC / GRC panels can be manufactured much thinner than traditional steel reinforced concrete, making it much lighter and more environmentally friendly. See The International Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete Association (GRCA) web site at grca.org.uk for more information on this versatile construction material.

It means "Cast In Place". This is like when you form concrete and place it in liquid form. This is opposite of "Precast" which means that it is formed some place else and moved to its final location after it hardens.
