The review dynamically signifies the various components and characteristics indulged in the analysis ofGlass Fibre Reinforced Concrete. Fundamentally, GFRC is a fibre based concrete in which fibre are uniformlydistributed and partially oriented along with other material such as cement, aggregates, sand, water, fly ash, etc. Thesefibres reinforce the concrete internally. Furthermore, it possesses various properties which enhance the workability ofconcrete up to a certain level along with its compressive, flexural and tensile strength. Apart from fibre, various otheradmixtures are significantly added in the concrete mix to overcome the concrete deficiencies such as weak in tension,highly porous, susceptible to cracking and chemical attacks. The length of glass fibre may vary depending upon theirrequirement for the specific objective. They may be applied either by spraying or by pouring.
