Abstract |
|
Alkali resistant glass fiber is extracted from the malleability of the waste glass material. This shows that thin sheets of glass pieces are called as glass fiber. Glass fiber is used in concrete for improving the strain properties as well as crack resistance, ductility and toughness. Now-a-day’s glass fiber is most used in the construction of buildings and pavements. Glass fiber is an additional material to concrete and added as percentages by the weight of cement. In this experiment, the glass fiber is added at 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by the weight of cement. In this study, M20 grade concrete is used. Concrete blocks are tested for compressive strength and split tensile strength in the time intervals of 7 days and 28 days. |
