GLASS FIBERS
Improvement in Concrete Properties by Glass Fibers
Compressive strength –Increased about 20 – 30%
Tensile strength–It is improved compared to conventional concrete
Flexural Strength–Increased about 25 – 30%
Split Strength –Increased up to 25 – 30%
Impact strength - Improved and better resistance to wear and tear
Permeability - Improved permeability by inclusion of fibers
Corrosion – Better resistance to atmospheric effect compared to normal concrete
