Manufacturers may benefit from a variety of features using lightweight structures, which are particular tempting for construction projects. Light weight, endurance in difficult conditions, and high tensile strength are really just few other reasons that polymer composites have become more common recently in construction projects. Throughout the form of fiber reinforced layers, composite materials, or sheets, composites are also widely utilized to reinforce ailing existing buildings. Polymer composites were also deemed novel compared to conventional material like glass and metal, although its effectiveness in structural materials. As a result, the main challenge has always been in the code early stages of development. Methods for evaluating the mechanical characteristics of composite materials, among the most significant parts of engineering, are suggested to be explored in this work. The purpose is to give developers with high-confidence values that will effectively contribute to the development of the any design methods. This paper examines the optimal mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites. In compared to carbon fiber reinforced composites, glass fiber reinforced polymer composites have a low rigidity and a high elongation.
