Abstract: Concrete industry is facing the environmental impact, by the emission of CO2 while cement production. Cement partially replaced with pozzolanic waste material like fly ash reduces the releasing of CO2 . Fly ash is produced from thermal power plants. Due to using of glass fibers to conventional concrete has a huge compressive strength and flexural strength. This research work deals the study of different grades (M30, M40) of GFRC by partial replacement of cement with fly ash. According to mix proportions, standard sizes of specimens are casted in order to find the durability properties, ductility and flexural strength. Durability properties are achieved by testing the specimens for sulphate and also acid attacks. Whereas ductility and flexural strength is obtained from stress-strain curves. And obtained results are compared to conventional concrete. It is been observed from this research is that, ductility, durability and flexural strength is higher for GFRC than conventional concrete.
