Abstract
The rise of concrete as a building material has necessitated the use of a variety of additions, including chemical and mineral components, in order to maximise the material's potential. In the present age of developments, in general, innumerable types of fibers are used for crack resistance and strength improvement of concrete. Glass fibers are added to the cement in varying percentages by volume to determine the optimal compressive strength of the mix. The compressive strengths at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and2% of glassfibres were calculated. The cubes were tested in Compressive testing machine (CTM) of 2000 Ton in accordance with Indian standard: IS 10262:2019 to study the effectof using glass fibres in concrete compared to conventional concrete mix. The experimental results showed that using 0.5 % glass fibre as a fibre reinforced concrete material, gave good and high compressive strength, but it was still low when compared to conventional concrete, so it should be used as a hybrid fibre with other fibres to strengthen the concrete structures
