Comparison of Compressive and Split Tensile Strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Conventional Concrete of M20 & M30

Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Now-a-days the world is witnessing the construction of more and more challenging and difficult engineering structures. So, the concrete need to possess very high strength and sufficient workability. The world is developing high performance concrete by adding various fibres, admixtures in different proportions. Various fibres like glass, carbon, Poly propylene and aramid fibres provide improvement in concrete properties like tensile strength, fatigue characteristics, durability, shrinkage, impact, erosion resistance and serviceability of concrete. Fibre Reinforced Concrete has found many applications in Civil engineering field. Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is a recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. GFRC has advantage of being light weight, high compressive strength and flexural strength. To improve the long term durability an Alkali resistance glass fiber reinforced concrete is invented .The aim of the work is to study the properties of the effect of glass fibers as reinforcement in the concrete for different proportions.
