Behaviour Of Reinforced Concrete Made Of Glass Fibres

Abstract

It is evident that the concrete becomes much stronger over time since the strength in compression after 7 days is about 65% of the strength after 28 days. A larger fibre content is associated with a discernible increase in compressive strength. This implies that adding fibres improves the concrete's mechanical qualities. In both the 7-day and 28-day tests, the fibre content of 1.5% yields the greatest compressive strength, suggesting that this is the ideal fibre level for increasing strength. Adding fibres to the sample leads to a significant 16% increase in its compressive strength when compared to the sample without any fibres.
