Abstract:

Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) is a material made of a cementitious matrix composed of cement, sand, water, and admixtures, in which short-length glass fibers are dispersed. It has been widely used for non-structural elements, like façade panels, piping, and channels. GRC offers many benefits, such as being lightweight, which will reduce dead load, fire resistance, good appearance, and tensile strength. In this study, trial tests for concrete with glass fiber and without glass fiber are conducted to indicate the differences in compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength by using cubes, beams, and cylinders. Various applications of GFRC shown in the study, the experimental test results, techno-economic comparison with normal concrete,
The present work aims at evaluating the compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength of glass fiber reinforced concrete of M25 grade for 12mm length of the fiber and varying dosages (0%, 0.03%, 0.06%, and 0.1%) by volume of the mould.
