Abstract: The usefulness of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in various civil engineering applications in indisputable.FRC has so far been successfully used in construction of structure like slab on grade, bridge, industrial structure and many other applications. In this work partially replacement of pumice light weight aggregate is carried out. The light weight materials such as light weight aggregate concrete can increase economic efficiency by reducing the self weight and dimensions of the structure. In this work the polypropylene fibers are added with concrete with different ratio ( 0.5 % ,1% , 1.5% , 2% ) to identify the splitting tensile strength of concrete , compressive strength, flexural strength, toughness and ductility behavior of concrete.
Keywords: polypropylene fibers, splitting tensile strength of concrete, compressive strength, Flexural strength.
