Abstract: conventional concrete show low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking which not suitable where the impact load is more like airport, highways, tunnels etc. to overcome these problem fiber reinforced is more suitable. Concrete traditionally consists of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. An attempt has been made to improve the tensile strength of concrete, steel fiber and glass fibers are used in concrete. Results of compressive strength and tensile strength and durability properties of concrete are been presented in this paper. It is found that using of steel fibers in concrete increase the strength and using of glass fibers reduced bleeding and workability compared to conventional concrete.
Keywords: steel and glass fibers; concrete; compressive strength; durability of concrete.
