Fibre is a material which could be added in concrete to change its properties and strength. Presented in thispaper is the performance evaluation of ordinary M25 grade of concrete when reinforced with different volumes ofPolypropylene (P), Polyethylene (E) and Woven rowing (O) glass fibers. The laboratory tests for workability,compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength were carried out for the above mentioned glass fibrereinforced concrete specimen prepared with different water cement ratios. The results show that use of any of these glassfibres proves to be beneficiary in terms of increase in overall strength of concrete. The optimum strength was observed inE-glass fiber at 0.07% by volume with 0.4 w/c ratio without compromising the workability.
