English term or phrase: thinner wall sections
WHAT IS GRC?
Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete is one of the most versatile building materials available to architects and engineers having only 20% of the weight of precast concrete, making it easier to handle on site and reducing loads on structures when in use.
GRC is also strong with a higher tensile strength than precast concrete allowing thinner wall sections to be produced.
The concrete has a high compression strength and low tensile strength.
Thanks to the special fibre contained in the glass fibre reinforced concrete, both its pressure and tensile strength is high.
For example, the tensile strength of the glass fibre is 3 folds of the steel and its elasticity is 3 to 4 folds of the concrete.
In addition to this, because fibre does not rust, the material is very durable.

agree  kashew: épaisseur = thickness so you are the most precise here, but I think sections could be cross-sections?
