Abstract: Glass fiber reinforced concrete is a recently innovated in the field of civil engineering construction. This product has advantage of being light weight and thereby reducing the overall cost of construction, ultimately bringing economy in construction. Steel reinforcement is easily corroded and structural deformation may appear then the alternative materials and rehabilitation techniques. So, researchers all over the world are attempting to develop high-performance concrete using glass fibers and other admixtures in the concrete up to certain extent. Now a day’s different types of fibers are used in modern civil construction like glass, carbon, agamid, and poly-propylene provide vast improvements in tensile strength of concrete.
