Abstract

The recent introducing of fiber reinforcement concrete in the field of civil engineering. This product (concrete) has an advantage of being lightweight and reduces the cost, it also economy to the construction. The researchers are going all around the world to develop the performance of the glass fiber adding concrete and with other admixtures up to the certain extent. The some of the admixtures which been used like glass, steel, carbon, etc., are mostly wide in durability, shrinkage, strength, impact, cavitations, and the serviceability of concrete. The present job is to build up of information about the glass fiber and steel fiber in the concrete.
