Abstract - The properties of concrete containing glass fiber were reviewed to establish their similarities and difference with normal concrete. Cement concrete specimens were cast with adding various percentage of glass fiber like 10% and 12% to the weight of the cement in order to analyze the performance of the GFRC. The E- glass fiber used to increase the strength on concrete and study the effect on compressive and flexural strength on M20 grade of concrete. 12% of GFRC to the weight of cement was found out to be the suitable proportion, which showed 25.75% increase in compressive strength and 98.02% increase in flexural strength over control concrete.
Key Words: concrete, glass fibre, admixture, compressive strength, flexural strength.
