The goal of this study is to determine how much of an effect glass fibre has on the compressive strength of M20 concrete. There are two groups in this investigation, and 18 samples have been prepared for each. Group 1 consists of your standard M20 concrete, whereas Group 2 features M20 concrete that has been strengthened with glass fibres. CLINICAL software was used to determine the sample size based on values taken from previously published studies. Several tools and resources were used to get the samples ready for analysis. The independent sample T-test, performed in SPSS version 21, shows that the addition of polymer coating to cured fiber-reinforced M20 grade concrete with GGBS slag (20 percent) significantly raises the concrete's compressive strength. According to the results of the compressive testing machine, the increase in strength is 17.435 percent. Table 6 shows that the significance of these occurrences was 0.034. (p0.05). The M20 grade glass-reinforced concrete had a standard deviation of 1.42683, as shown in table 5. Based on the results of this experiment, it can be said that M20 grade concrete that has been reinforced with glass fibres has higher compressive strength than regular M20 grade concrete.
