Abstract: Concrete is widely known to have high compressive strength and low tensile strength. To compensate the lack of tensile ability, concrete samples were made with the addition of different types of fibers such as steel, bamboo and jute using locally available brick chips as coarse aggregate and Sylhet sand as fine aggregate. Cement type was CEM Type I as per BDS: EN-197-2001. Concrete specimens were made with the addition of different fibers which were added in % weight of cement used. % of fiber added was also varied for different concrete specimens. Specimens were tested for hardened properties of concrete such as compressive strength and split tensile strength. Investigation showed that use of steel fiber improves the hardened properties of concrete.
