Abstract
Concrete is strong in compression and comparatively weaker in tension, therefore, to enhance the tensile strength of concrete certain fibers are added into the concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) contains fibrous material, which increases the structural stability and integrity. Fiber reinforcement in concrete, mortar, and cement paste can enhance many engineering properties of the basic materials, such as fracture toughness, deflection under lateral loading and resistance to fatigue, impact, thermal shock spalling, and durability. Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete, which is the combination of various fibers into the conventional concrete makes it subtle and enhances the mechanical behavior of the concrete. In the present study, experimental procedures were carried out to decode the compressive strength, tensile strength, and the durability of M40 grade hybrid Alkali Resistant (AR) glass and Coir fiber reinforced concrete. The addition of a combination of fibers into conventional concrete had proportional effects in increasing the ductility and impact resistance.
