Abstract
Our aim to study the behaviour Glass Fibre Concrete with the ratio of (1 to 5%) by volume of fraction and study the mechanical properties of concrete by carrying compressive strength, flexural strength test and splitting tensile strength test. Many methods have recommended for mix proportioning of concrete all over the world. Among those methods, ACI method was selected for our project.
