Abstract: The beam column joint is the Critical zone in a reinforced concrete moment resisting frame. Beam column joint is the media to transfer the forces to next floor. To resist the beam column joint from the huge loads in a structure, fibre reinforced concrete is used in this present study. To make more ductile at beam-column joint, 0.5 % of electrical/ chemical resistance (ECR) glass fibres are added to the volume of concrete and also, to reduce the greenhouse gases from the cement industry replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) up to 40% (0, 30, & 40) are used. To know the optimum strength of concrete, the compressive strength of cubes, split tensile strength of cylinders, modulus of rupture of prisms and flexural behaviour of the beams with size of 750 x 150 x 150 mm have tested and assessed as pilot study. Further, the concrete durability (Chloride attack and Sulphite attacks) studies are also carried out. All the results are compared with normal concrete grade of M30.
