Abstract

In addition to avail ourselves to the new technologies, we should also extend them for innovations through research and development, which include improving the present technique and to explore better use of our natural resources for civil engineering construction. Concrete is one such basic component in which constant up gradation has always been implemented in order to improve its properties by adding different admixtures and additives. Glass fibres one such material which could be added in concrete to change its properties and strength. Glass fibre is chemically inorganic material obtained from molten glass of a specific Composition. Glass fibre can be added in concrete to change its properties and strength. When M30 grade of concrete is mixed with glass fibre in different proportion we can increase compressive strength and flexure strength of concrete. Test will be carried out at 7 days and 28 days interval to compute difference in compressive strength and flexure strength using universal testing machine.
