        abstract = {Concrete is the most widely used building materials, which are prized for their high compressive strength (fck) and longevity. With the increasing growth of urbanization, the demand of concrete has grown drastically. To satisfy the increasing demand for economical building materials, a lot of research has centred on the inclusion of advanced materials in traditional concrete. One such material is glass fibre, whose bright future as a material for enhancing concrete has been demonstrated. With the fast rate of urban growth, there is increasing demand for high-strength concrete that can be manufactured at an efficient rate. Glass fibre is especially good at fulfilling this requirement. Composed of very fine fibres of glass, it has excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, flexibility, stiffness, thermal resistance, and chemical resistance. Whereas glass fibre has similar mechanical properties to polymers and carbon fibre, it is much cheaper and less brittle, and thus ideal for numerous applications across the world. The present investigation is aimed at studying the strength properties of Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). The mix design of concrete was done as per IS 10262:2009, employing M25 grade concrete, 0.40 water-cement ratio, and Conplast as a super plasticizer. Glass fibres (GF) were added to the mixture in different percentages—0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% by weight. The performance of GFRC was tested and compared with control concrete (fibres-free) by studying major mechanical properties like compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength.},
