        abstract = {This study examines the effect of cyclic loading on the mechanical properties of glass fiber–reinforced HPC. The flexural performance of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is a key factor governing the structural behavior of concrete elements under repeated loading. Concrete beams of grade M40 were cast using steel reinforcement and varying percentages of glass fiber, with silica fume and fly ash incorporated as mineral admixtures. The specimens were tested to evaluate compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength under cyclic loading conditions. The experimental results indicate a notable increase in compressive strength for HPC containing 0.5% glass fiber. Flexural strength improved by up to 15% for mixes with 1% glass fiber across all grades. Direct tensile strength was observed to be higher than split tensile strength, reflecting the enhanced tensile resistance provided by fiber reinforcement. In addition, the inclusion of glass fibers delayed crack initiation and reduced crack propagation in HPC beams subjected to cyclic loading. The findings demonstrate that glass fiber–reinforced HPC exhibits improved strength, ductility, and crack control, making it suitable for structural applications subjected to cyclic or repeated loading.},
