Fiber glass reinforced concrete (FGRC) is used form any structural elements due to its high mechanical properties, particularly flexural strength. As the concrete crack forming process accelerates and the probability of sudden fractures increases. There were various methods to eliminate this weakness of concrete. One of most common methods was employed of randomly distributed fiber. In this paper, two types of isolated footings were utilized, square and rectangular shape reinforced by a fiber glass with a length of 18 mm and having a rate of (0.20, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.50 and 1.00%) of weight, to experimentally investigate the tensile and fatigue properties of footings The results of FGRC were compared with the reinforced steel concrete. The results revealed that FGRC has a positive effect on the tensile and fatigue properties of isolated footing, especially with higher percentage of used fiber glass.
