The usefulness of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) in various civil engineering applications is indisputable. Fiber-reinforced concrete has so far been successfully used in slabs on grade, architectural panels, precast products, offshore structures, structures in seismic regions, thin and thick repairs, crash barriers, footings, hydraulic structures, and many other applications. Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is gaining attention as an effective way to improve the performance of concrete. Fibers are currently being specified in tunneling, bridge decks, pavements, loading docks, thin unbounded overlays, concrete pads, and concretes slabs. These applications of fiber reinforced concrete are becoming increasingly popular and are exhibiting excellent performance. Glass Fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) is concrete containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity. It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented. Fibers include steel fibers, glass fibers, synthetic fibers and natural fibers. This study presents an understanding of the strength of fiber-reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties and durability of fiber reinforced concrete.
