  Advancing Pavement Durability and Sustainability through Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Technology

  By Tarun Kumar, Ravindra Budania, Vikas Pandey, Shahnawaz Ahmed Mir, Ankush Kumar Jain, Saurabh Singh

  Abstract: This research evaluates the application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) for improving road pavement durability and sustainability. The primary objective was to ascertain the optimal glass fiber content that enhances pavement performance while maintaining economic feasibility. To achieve this, experimental investigations compared the mechanical properties of GFRC to traditional Portland Cement Concrete (PCC). The experiments focused on key performance metrics such as tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths, with GFRC …

  Enhancing Concrete Durability and Mechanical Properties for Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) Roads Using Basalt Fiber Reinforcement

  By Anuj Shukla, Ravindra Budania, Vikas Pandey, Shahnawaz Ahmed Mir, Ankush Kumar Jain, Saurabh Singh

  Abstract: Concrete, by nature, is brittle and has a very low tensile capacity, which is a double whammy in transportation infrastructure, such as pavement quality concrete (PQC), for roadways, where we need durability and strength. One such method is the use of basalt fibre, as it is a much better way of enhancing the road runway way performance of concrete. This research studies the impact of the addition of basalt fibres …
