Abstract :
Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Nowadays 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. Researchers all over the world are developing high performance concrete by adding various fibers, admixtures in different proportions. Because of such characteristics Fibre Reinforced Concrete has found many applications in civil engineering field. Glass Fibre 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 fibre reinforced concrete is also invented. The aim of the work is to study the properties of the effect of glass fibre as reinforcement in the concrete for different proportions such as 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% from the research work which is already carried out by the researchers. The different % of glass fiber is adding as 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% to compare the strength of concrete. In this project sand is replaced by quarry dust with using glass fiber, the 0.75% for 7, 14, 28 days of concrete which give the high compressive and tensile strength of concrete.
