A Literature Review On High Performance Concrete Using Supplementary Cementing Material And Glass Fiber

Neel Shah, Dr. I. N. Patel

Abstract :

Concrete is a tension weak building material, which is often crack ridden connected to plastic and hardened states, drying shrinkage. Glass–Fie Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is a material made of a cementatious matrix composed of cement, sand, water and admixtures, in which short length glass fies are dispersed. GFRC has advantage of being light weight and thereby reducing the overall cost of construction there by inging economy in construction, fire resistance and good appearance. The inclusion of fly ash in glass fie reinforced concrete reduces the environmental pollution and improves the workability and durability properties of concrete. The present paper outlines the experimental investigation conducted on the use of glass fie with structural concrete and class F fly ash and also on strength aspect of concrete
