Abstract

Extensive experimental investigation on glass fiber reinforced concrete was carried out by researchers. Glass fiber mesh is more effective in resisting bending and punching shear. Steel Fibres are most popular metallic fibers used for the production of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete particularly from the point of view of strength and ductility. It is observed that studies showed Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete mixes provide the improvement of high performance and high strength concretes. The present thesis would contribute to the efforts being made in the field of concrete technology towards the development of concretes possessing very much enhanced and special durable properties. Based on the study, valuable advice will be given to concrete structures. It is observed from the experimental results and its analysis, that the compressive strength of concrete, splitting tensile strength of concrete increases with the addition of low Percentage of glass fibers. The 0.2%, 0.45% and 0.7% addition of glass fibers into the concrete shows the better result in mechanical properties and durability. Addition of 0.2% glass fibers by weight of cement shows the maximum increase in Compressive strength and Flexural strength varying 18% to 20%, and 15% to 20% respectively with respect to PC mix without fibers at 28 days of curing. The durability of concrete from the aspect of resistance to acid attack on concrete increases by adding AR-glass fibers in concrete.The glass fibers bridge the cracks causing interconnecting voids to be minimum. UPV value found to be higher for concrete containing 0.45%GF by weight of cement. The value was 4.85 and 5.1 (km/sec.) at 56 and 90 days of curing respectively. The concrete mix containing 0.7%GF by weight of binder showed higher resistance to weight loss in H2SO4 solution i.e.0.69% compared with control mix of concrete without glass fibers.
