Using advanced materials enclosed with mortar is an innovative study of Structural Engineering as compared to conventional mortar mix. In this thesis GFRC is used. Glass fibers are used as shrinkage resistant, crack resistant and corrosion resistant. And the use of glass fibers on mortar results, the increase in tensile strength and flexural strength. Three percentages (1%, 2% and 3%) of fibers by weight of cement were selected. The specimens of size (70.6x70.6x70.6mm) mould were casted. The

... cimens were tested at the ages of 7-days and 28-days for compressive strength. The test results showed that, the compressive strength is more in 1% of fiber mix and the strength goes on decreasing. This fiber enclosed mortar is to be used for retrofitting of beams using laminates.
