Concrete is a frail building material in strain. Characteristically, because of variety in temperature small cracks will be available in concrete. In addition, solid experiences low rigidity, constrained flexibility and little protection from splitting. Plain concrete will create splits because of plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage and different reasons also .The advancement of these small scale breaks causes flexible miss happen-ing in concrete. The solid with no fiber is considered as fragile and feeble material. Related to glass fiber use there lies numerous techno efficient inquiries that settles on the decision of GFRC over strengthened cement troublesome. This paper exhibits the change in the mechan-ical quality properties and flexibility properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. An Experimental program was done with and without utilizing glass fiber in various rate 0 to 0.09 percentages in conventional concrete keeping in mind the end goal to enhance the mechanical properties, stretch strain conduct and arrangement of splits. In light of the outcomes acquired from the trial comes about the conclusion is that both fiber and cementitious lattice can hold their physical and substance properties and they deliver a blend of properties that can't be accomplished when these segments are acting alone.

Based on the mechanical properties experiment of the glass fiber reinforced concrete with 0%0.6%0.8% and 1% glass fiber volume fraction, the mechanics property such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural elasticity modulus are analyzed and compared with the plain concrete when the kinds of fiber content changes. The research results show that the effect of tensile strength and flexural strength can be improved to some extent, which also can serve as a reference or basis for further improvement and development the theory and application of the glass fiber reinforced concrete.

This study presents results of an experimental investigation conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of sisal and glass fiber reinforced concrete. Four basic concrete mixes were considered: 1) Plain concrete (PC) containing ordinary natural aggregates without any fibers, 2) sisal fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), 3) sisal and glass fiber reinforced concrete (SGFRC), 4, glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). Investigated properties were compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural tensile strength and workability. The results of fiber reinforced concrete mixes were compared with plain concrete to investigate the effect of fibers on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete. It was determined that addition of different kinds of fibers (natural and synthetic) is very useful to produce concrete. The addition of fibers was resulted into higher compressive strength, splitting and tensile strength. However, the workability of the fiber reinforced concrete was found lower than the plain concrete due to the addition of fibers in the concrete.

Kota Makassar sebagai,pintu gerbang perdagangan di Indonesia Timur dan juga merupakan salah satu kota besar di Indonesia, membutuhkan moda transportasi massal yakni kereta api yang telah ditindaklanjuti dengan adanya jaringan jalur kereta api Trans Sulawesi pada tahun 2015 di Kabupaten Barru. Sejauh ini perencanaan kereta api hanya sebatas rencana jaringan jalur kereta tanpa adanya rencana rancangan stasiun. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan sebuah desain Stasiun Kereta Api di Kota Makassar sebagai induk dari stasiun-stasiun penghubung antarkota lainnya. Penggunaan metode pendekatan utopia menekankan bentuk fasade yang geometris dan dinamis yang ditransformasikan dari bentuk lumba-lumba untuk menghadirkan kesan futuristik pada bangunan yang berlokasi pada Kecamatan Tallo tersebut. Dengan luas lahan terbangun 2,7 Ha dan lahan terbuka 1,8 Ha, Stasiun didesain tiga lantai dengan sistem struktur rangka ruang dipadukan GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete). Pada tapak terdapat pembagian jalur enterance antara penumpang, pengelola dan barang atau kargo. Fasilitas yang disediakan pada tapak adalah halte angkutan umum yakni BRT dan pete-pete guna memperlancar perpindahan moda transportasi penumpang. Stasiun Kereta Api dengan konsep utopia ini penulis sajikan agar dapat menjadi ikon Kota Makassar, sesuai dengan program kerja pemerintah yakni menjadikan Kota Makassar sebagai kota dunia. Selain itu juga dapat memperpanjang masa pakai bangunan dari segi arsitektural sehingga bangunan tidak perlu direnovasi dalam kurun waktu yang singkat.
