An Experimental Study of Comparison between the Strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Conventional Concrete (M30 Grade)

Glass-fibre reinforced (GFRC) is a fabric manufactured from a cementitious matrix composed of cement, sand, water and admixtures, wherein brief duration fibres are dispersed. It has been extensively used within side the creation enterprise for non-structural factors like- façade panels, piping and channels. It is advancement in the construction technology, since it is light in weight, therefore bringing economy in the construction. Steel is replaced by the glass fibres helps in avoiding structural deterioration and corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Keeping in mind about the global environment conditions, many alternatives are searched to increase the strength, durability, shrinkage characteristics and serviceability of concrete. Hence, here glass fibre is added and tests have performed with varying percentage of 1%, 2% and 3% of cement by adding as an admixture.
