Abstract

<p> All of us know that the normal concrete possess very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. So this focuses towards the experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced concrete with conventional concrete. Fibers while delivered in certain percentage in the concrete improves the property as crack resistance, ductility, as flexural strength and durability. So for enhancing the durability of the structure we are the use of glass fiber. Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GRFC) is a fabric product of a cementatious matrix composed of cement, sand, water and admixtures, wherein brief duration glass fibers are dispersed. It has been broadly used within the creation enterprise for non-structural factors, like façade panels, piping and channels. GRC gives many advantages, inclusive of being lightweight, heat resistance, appropriate look and strength. For this experimental work we are using glass fibers on the volume fractions of 0.5%, 1% and 2 %. After the casting of cubes, beams and cylinder with the above stated quantity fractions we can carry out specific test which include compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength respectively. After the completion of this work we compare the results of glass fiber strengthened concrete with that of the normal concrete. From evaluating those two we are able to see that how the addition of the fibers will have an effect on the mechanical properties of conventional concrete and we check that the addition of fibers improves the strength of concrete or not </p>
