Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the mechanical properties and shear resistance of hybrid steel and basalt fiber reinforced M-25 grade of concrete. Crimped steel fibers with chopped basalt fiber have been used with varying (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) percentage volumetric ratio of concrete. The results indicated that crimped steel fiber performs better under compressive loading and chopped basalt fiber performs better under tensile loading. The beams are observed to fail in shear with majority of cracks developed near the support and some cracks were developed in middle third portion of beam with varying fiber dosage. Beam with 0.75S0.25B hybrid fiber performs and found 29% cheaper than the conventional beam with stirrups.
