Abstract

Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) is a material consisting of a distributed cementitious matrix containing small glass fibers, which is formed of cement, sand, water, and admixtures. It has been extensively utilized in the building sector for non-structural components like as channels, pipelines, and façade panels. GRC has a lot of benefits, including strength, fire resistance, low weight, and attractive look. Using cubes of various sizes, trial tests for concrete with and without glass fiber are carried out in this study to show the variations in compressive strength and flexural strength. The study's numerous GFRC uses, the outcomes of experimental testing, a techno-economic comparison with other kinds, and the financial estimates provided all point to the material's enormous potential as a substitute for traditional building materials.
