Abstract

The composite matrix that is obtained by combining cement, Ground Granulated Blast
Furnace Slag, aggregates and fibers is known as “Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Fiber
reinforced concrete”. The fibre in the cement Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag based matrix acts
as crack- arresters, which restrict the growth of micro cracks and prevent these from enlarging under
load. The experimental work has carried out to study the effects of replacement of cement (by weight) with
(15%, 30%, and 45%) Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and the effects of addition of (0.5%, .1.0%,
1.5%) Glass Fiber composite. A M25 Grade of concrete control mixture of proportions 1:1.45:2.52 with
w/c of 0.45 designed.
