Abstract
The present work studies the effect of adding Electrical Grade Glass (EG) fibers and white Alkali Resistant Glass (ARG) fibers on performance in terms of strength of high-grade Concrete. For this, experiments were carried out to measure compressive, tensile, and flexural strength of a high-grade concrete mix added with EG and ARG fibers at dosages of 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.2% by weight of cement. The compressive, tensile, and flexural strength increases by 16.4%,12.14%, and 7.96% respectively increase in case of EG Fibers and 21.2%,14.48%, and 10.15%, respectively in case of ARG fibers for 1.2% dosage compared to standard mix. The increase in the strength parameters comes at an additional cost of just 3.2% for EG fibers and 2.6% for ARG fibers.
