Abstract
As building industry evolves, stronger more durable and increasingly specialized products are in demand fiber reinforcement took an important role, fiber reinforcement to meet requirement changed with material composition and patterns such as fiber mesh, micro fibers, macro fibers, etc. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using nylon fiber as fibre reinforcement admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete to the normal Portland cement. Using nylon fiber the compressive strength and flexural of concrete has increased to very limited extend. As the friction between concrete and nylon fiber is very less, so it gives very less interlocking between concrete.

Nylon fiber used as fiber-reinforcement admixture will increase the strength of concrete, very limited literature found related to this study, the author just compared his work with general ordinary Portland cement
Care must be taken such that the concrete must not be mixed with excess water as water makes less interlocking with nylon fibers
Summary
“ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE USING NYLON FIBER AS FIBER REIGNFORCEMENT ADMIXTURE.” International Journal of Research - Granthaalayah, 5(4) RASM, 63-66. Nylon is thermoplastic silky materials [1] that can be melting processed into fibers, films or shapes [2]. Fiber is a small piece of reinforcing material possessing certain characteristics properties. [Gadgihalli et al, Vol.5 (Iss.4: RASM), April, 2017]
