Abstracts: Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world.Glass fibre concrete is a recent introduction in field of concrete technology and extensively used in over 100 countries. Glass fibre concrete is a concrete in which small and discontinuous fibre dispersed uniformly. Glass fibre concrete has found many applications in civil engineering field like slab, beam, column etc. and widely used in pavement construction. Use of glass fibre makes concrete light weight, flexible and life is increased. The addition of glass fibre into concrete increases the compressive strength, flexural strength and impact strength of concrete up to what extent will be found out by laboratory analysis work.
