Abstract:

Glass fibre reinforced concrete, i.e, GFRC concrete is one which is manufactured by adding glass fibre to the nominal concrete with partial replacement of OPC by GGBS in order to incorporate few additional properties to the concrete. GFRC is a concrete that uses glass fibres for reinforcement instead of steel. Since the fibres cannot rust like steel, there is no need for a protective concrete cover thickness to prevent rusting. Concrete of grade M25 was used with the addition of glass fibreof 0.33% and 0.67% by weight of concrete with partial replacement of GGBS in 15%, 30%,45% and 60% by weight of cementitious material. The cubes and cylinders were casted to test compressive and split tensile strength of concrete at 3days, 7days and 28 days of curing. From this work it is concluded that the effective percentage of replacement for 0.33% of glass fibre is 45% for both compressive strength and split tensile strength. The effective percentage of replacement for 0.67% glass fibre is 30%.
