Abstract

There is increase in fiber use in concrete from last few decades. There is demand of providing cost effective technique with this innovative material while offering improved structural properties. The fibers can be used to replace the conventional bars partially or fully. This paper presents the mechanical properties of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced concrete (Steel and Polypropylene). The combined volume fractions of steel and polypropylene used were 1.25% and 1.75%. The hooked end steel fibers with fibrillated polypropylene were used in this study. The compressive strength and flexural strength of the HyFRC was determined in this study. The concrete of M20 grade concrete was used in this study. The significant improvement in compressive and flexural strength was observed in this study. There improvement in failure strain is observed in this study.
