ABSTRACT
Glass Fiber will be used as admixtures as it
had more strength and durability. It can be
obtained through FRC while comparing
with normal concrete. Fiber glass usually
used in the concrete to control cracking due
to plastic shrinkage and dry shrinkage. The
amount of fiber used in concrete mix
are(0%,2%,4%).superior strength enhances
the ability to endure seismic loads
LITERATURE REVIEW
A number of researches have been conducted on GFRC during the recent years.
The work of various researchers have been studied and presented below: Gupta et
al. (2017) analyzed the effect on compressive and flexural strength of M25 grade
of concrete after the addition of alkali resistant glass fibre and observed that the
inclusion of the glass fibre into the mixture of concrete replacing the cementitious
material did not improve its compressive and flexural strength. However at the
age of 28 days, the values of the mix with 2% of glass fibre are comparable to the
controlled concrete mix having no glass fibre at all. An experimentation on the
properties of reinforced glass fibre and ground granulated blast furnace slag
concrete was carried out by Kumar Shantveerayya and Nikkam Vikasin (2016)
which concluded that the concrete workability increases and decreases in
accordance to the inclusion of Ground Granulated Blast Slag and glass fibre.
Slump value gets gradually increase up to 45% in 0.33% and 0.67% of glass fibre
along with the addition of GGBS and then further decreases. The split tensile
strength and compressive strength value of cube exhibit efficacious strength with
the addition of GGBS from 0% to 45% in 0.33% of glass fibre and 0% to 30% in
0.67% of glass fibre. However further more addition of GGBS may result in
decreasing the value of cubes
INTRODUCTION
 Concrete is one of the most widely used
construction material. It is usually associated with
portland cement as the main component for
making concrete. Ordinary portland cement is
conventionally used as the primary bindar to
produce concrete. Production of portland cement
is currenly exceeding 2.6 billion tons per year
world wide and growing at 5% annually.
 5-8% of all human generated atmospheric carbon
dioxide world wide comes from the concrete
industry.
Glass fibre reinforced concrete is a type
of fibre reinforced concrete which are
mainly used in exterior building faced
panels and as architectural pre cast
concrete.
WHAT IS CONCRETE
The most popular artifical material on
earth isn’t steel, plastic, aluminium its
concrete. Thousands of years ago . We
used it to build civilizations. But then our
knowledge of how to make was last.
Here’s how we discovered concrete.
Forget it, and then finally craked the
mystrey of what makes it so strong.
WHAT IS FIBER REINFORCED
CONCRETE
Fiber reinforced concrete is a new
structural material which Is gaining
increasing importance. Addition of fiber
reinforcement in discrete from improves
many engineering properties of concrete

WHAT IS GFC

GFRC is similar to chopped fiber glass,

although much weaker. It’s made by
combining a miture of fine sand, cement,
polymer, water, other admixtures and
alkali resistant(AR) glass fiber.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
Study the mix design aspects of GRC
Understood various applications
involving GRC compare GRC with
alternats such as stone, aluminuim, wood,
glass, steel, marble and granite
Perform labouratory test that are related
to compressive , tensile and flexure by use
of glass fiber in the concrete pour.
