Abstract-
Like other fields of technology, civil engineering too has moved over from conventional and dictatorial approach of designing. New and advanced tailor made ingredients are being added to the conventional mix and their consequent effects on the finished product are being analysed. Albeit, strength properties of ingredients is more of a vision of civil engineers but at the same time eco-friendly approach of the ingredients is also probed. For the same purpose, industrial disposals like silica fume (SF) by (6, 9 & 12%) & coal bottom ash (CBA) by (5, 10 & 15%) were used as substituents of two primary ingredients of concrete viz. cement and Fine aggregate. To accomplish the goal of HPC, alkali resistant glass fibre with (0.4, 0.8 & 1.2%) by concrete weight was also engrossed into the concrete. Chemical additive super-plasticizer by 0.4% of the weight of cementitious material was also engrossed to the concrete mix. The impact of these constituents on concrete compressive strength was checked by the suitable test. The behaviour of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) under compressive loads was correlated with that of traditional mix.
