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.
