In construction world concrete plays a vital role, around 60% of structure consists of Concrete. However,the production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significantamounts of CO2, depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper investigates thecompressive strength of concrete by replacing cement with GGBS and silica fume effect of glass fibers onperformance of concrete is studied. In this present work a humble attempt had been made to evaluate andcompare the compressive strengths of GGBS blended concrete cubes with controlled concrete cubes curedunder ACID and BASE for 28 days. By conducting the tests on the cubes, conclusions were drawn afterplotting and analyzing the results. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 28 days. Theoptimum value is obtained at 15% replacement with GGBS and 5% with Silica fume. In this study again wetrailed addition with Glass fibers with the percentage of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%, compressive strength have beenstudied. Finally at 1.0% addition we get maximum strength compared to controlled mix
