Abstract

Concrete is a weak building material in tension. Inherently, micro cracks will be present in concrete. The formation of micro cracks normally due to shrinkage of concrete. Fibers act as bridge towards crack propagation and increase the energy absorption capacity of the concrete. Moreover, concrete suffers from low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. In order to improve these properties, an attempt has been made to study the effect of addition of polypropylene, glass fibers in ordinary Portland cement concrete along the cement replacement with flyash. In this study, the scope of research will be focused on the effect of hybrid fibers on mechanical properties.
