Glass Fibers as Cement Replacement in Concrete

Glass fibers can partially replace cement in concrete as a way to reduce environmental impact. The study looked at replacing cement with glass fibers at percentages of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by weight in concrete mixtures. Tests were performed on the mixtures and results recorded. A M30 grade of concrete was also produced with the varying fiber replacements and values recorded. The final results of the study are presented in tables and graphs to show the effect of different glass fiber replacement percentages on the concrete.

Abstract: the recent studies have shown


that the glass fibres can be a very good
replacement of cement in concrete
industries. The glass fibers have very good
cementious properties thus they can be used
as a substitute mateial for the cement. The
production of cement accompane with a
large amount of carbon dioxide gas which is
not good for the environment thus replaceing
cement by glass fibers has a good impact on
the environment too. Also nowdays the glass
industry is facing a disposal problem related
to glass waste. The this study is beneficial for
both the industries
In this study the cement is replaced by glass
fibers in the varying percentage of
0%,10%,20%,30%,40% and 50% by weight of
cement. The test are performed on these
varying percentages and observatios are
recorded. After this a M30 grade of concrete
is made with the same amount of varying
percentages and values are recorded. The

final results are shown with the help of tables


and graphs.
