    Abstract

    This paper presents proposed investigations of the influence of crushed glass and fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete. Conventional concrete has lack tension in order to improve its flexural strength and compressive strength. This study has adopted the addition of PET fibers and recycled waste glass fibers to concrete. The study uses M25... more
