Abstract
Fiber glass was prepared as fibers to be used as filler materials in mortar mixes. Cement was used to cast mortar cubes and prisms to study the effect of Fiber Glass on the properties of mortar. Three mortar mixtures were prepared in the experimental program. In those mixtures fiber glass was used in the mortar as percentage of 0 %, 50 % (70 gm.), and 100 % (140 gm.).Mechanical properties were tested in this study. The mechanical properties include compressive strength. Another test well be executed, and thats heat flow test
