Abstract

The current world is undergoing the construction of a very challenging and demanding civil engineering structures. Concrete is the best as it is important and as for now it is a widely used material where it is able to retain very high strength and adequate workability characteristics. Efforts are being conducted in the field of concrete technology to create such concretes with special properties. One of the effort is by the addition of variable fibers to concrete to improve the strength aspects of concrete. Some of the generally known fibers are steel, carbon, glass and organic fibers. In the current studies, we are using alkali resistance glass fiber. Glass fiber is cost-effective where there isn’t any need of extra expenditure from the total cost of concrete can be included. A total of 15 samples were prepared by varying the percentage of concrete mixes. Firstly, 3 samples of conventional concrete were tested. Then, the following test was done by adding different percentages of glass fiber to 12 more concrete samples which is 10% and 20%. Two reinforcing method used which are discontinuous fiber reinforcement (chopped) and continuous fiber reinforcement (layer) to both 10% and 20% samples respectively. The compressive capability of each samples were compared.
