Abstract

This paper deals with the construction of a rigid pavement road which uses concrete as a construction material. This paper deals with the partial replacement of fine aggregates in the concrete with fiber glass. The concrete with fiber glass and without fiber glass is analyzed in terms of compressive strength and rise in temperature due to sunlight. The concrete considered for this research work is M20 mix. The fine aggregate replacements for the concrete ratio are 5%, 10% and 20%. The characteristic compressive strength of conventional M20 concrete and developed M20 concrete is nearly equal with a visible difference in temperatures after sunlight exposure. The outcome of this research work is that fiber glass is effectively efficient to be used for cool pavement & cool Roofing and can be adopted easily as it consumes waste.
