        abstract = {Plain concrete possess very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to propagation of such micro cracks. Fibers when added in certain percentage in the concrete improve the strain properties well as crack resistance, ductility, as flexure strength and toughness. Mainly the studies and research in fiber reinforced concrete has been devoted to glass fibers. In recent times, glass fibers have also become available, which are free from corrosion problem associated with steel fibers. The present paper outlines the experimental investigation conducts on the use of glass fibers with structural concrete. Glass fiber of diameter 5–25 micron, having an aspect ratio 800-900 was employed in percentages of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 by weight in concrete and the properties of this FRC (fiber reinforced concrete) like compressive strength, flexure strength, toughness, modulus of elasticity were studied.},
