Abstract
Fiber glass reinforced concrete (FGRC) is used form any structural elements due to its high
mechanical properties, particularly flexural strength. As the concrete crack forming process
accelerates and the probability of sudden fractures increases. There were various methods to
eliminate this weakness of concrete. One of most common methods was employed of randomly
distributed fiber. In this paper, two types of isolated footings were utilized, square and rectangular
shape reinforced by a fiber glass with a length of 18 mm and having a rate of (0.20, 0.30, 0.35,
0.40, 0.50 and 1.00%) of weight, to experimentally investigate the tensile and fatigue properties of
footings The results of FGRC were compared with the reinforced steel concrete. The results
revealed that FGRC has a positive effect on the tensile and fatigue properties of isolated footing,
especially with higher percentage of used fiber glass.
