Abstract:
Concrete place a vital role in construction field. As we know it is strong in compression but brittle and weak in tension. In order to overcome this problem we generally use steel, but now day’s different fibres available in market. Glass fibre reinforced concrete( GRC) is a material made of a cementatious matrix composed of cement , sand , water and admixtures in which short length glass fibres are dispersed . Concrete has several desirable properties like high compressive strength, stiffness and durability. But by the use of alkali resistance glass fibre the above properties increases upto certain Proportions. In the present experimental investigation the glass fibre has been used to study compressive strength and tensile strength on M25 grade concrete. In this study we choose four percentages of glass fibre as 0%, 0.02%, 0.06%, 1% by concrete weight.
