Abstract
This paper synthesizes experimental investigations into the structural and durability aspects of Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). By integrating alkali-resistant glass fibres into conventional concrete, the study explores its effects on compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength, as well as non-destructive testing (NDT) parameters like rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). A total of 150 specimens were tested across varying fibre contents, revealing optimal mechanical performance at a 1.5% fibre volume. The data confirms GFRC's enhanced durability, strength, and potential for sustainable construction, positioning it as a viable alternative to traditional concrete solutions.
