Abstract— Concrete is a key component of the construction material used in a sizable amount of our country's infrastructural system, and its use is expected to increase as the country's infrastructure needs grow. Strength and longevity must be incorporated into its design to make it more useful. In addition, it makes sense to utilise admixtures such Rice Husk ash, fly ash, silica fume, etc. as partial replacements for cement in concrete, which compensates for the material's inferior performance and reduces its overall cost. Cement, Rice Husk ash, aggregates, and fibres are mixed together to form "Rice Husk ash Fiber reinforced concrete," a composite matrix. As crack-arresters, the fibres in the cement Rice Husk ash based matrix inhibit tiny fractures from expanding when subjected to stress. Researchers replaced 5%, 10%, and 15% of cement with rice husk ash and added 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% glass fibre composite to see how those variables affected the final product. The w/c of the M30 Grade control mixture that was created was 0.50, and the proportions were 1:1.91:3. The effects of Glass fibre and Rice Husk ash content on mechanical parameters including compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength testing are reported..
