Abstract
The conventional concrete is enhanced by the addition of fibers in it. The brittleness in concrete is reduced and the adequate ductility of concrete is ensured by the addition of fibers in concrete. The fibers used are polyvinyl alcohol powders and steel fibers in various volume combinations. The main reason for adding fiber to concrete matrix is to find its compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and deflection test. The base polyvinyl alcohol is highly resistant to the majority of aggressive agent and will never oxidize when exposed to the condition which causes the steel to rust. The hybrid fibers of various combinations in polyvinyl alcohol powder is 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and steel fibre 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% are decided to use in concrete mix. The workability of these fiber reinforced concrete mix will be increased by addition of super plasticizer.
