A REVIEW ON “ USE OF GLASS FIBERS IN CONCRETE ”
Keywords:
Woven Roving Glass Fiber, OPC Cement, PPC Cement, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexure strengthAbstract
Concrete is one such basic component in which constant up gradation has always been implemented in order to
improve its properties by adding different admixtures or additives. Glass Fiber is one such material which could
be added in concrete to change its properties and strength. In order to improve these properties, and attempt has
been made to study the effect of addition of glass fibers in OPC and PPC concrete. In the present experimental
investigation glass fibers in different percentage has been studied for the effect on mechanical properties of
concrete by carrying compressive strength test, flexural strength test and splitting tensile strength test. Results
show that proper addition of GLASS FIBER in concrete can improve the mechanical properties, especially the
flexural strength. Experiments were performed to check the performance of use concrete grades when mixed with
Glass Fiber in different proportions. Tests were carried out for 0.45, 0.50 and 0.55 w/c ratio.
