Abstract:

The importance of concrete in development of civilized world can be known from the fact that, concrete is most widely used man-made material on planet and consumption of concrete in world per capita is around 1 ton. Being such a important construction material enhancement of its strength and durability is prime need of hour only by the way of its research and development. The fiber reinforced concrete is collective mixture of primary constituent of concrete such as cement, sand, aggregate, and add on constituent containing short and discrete fiber which can be steel, polypropylene, polythene, nylon etc. Presently there is necessity to find a material or composite material to improve the strength of concrete and its effective utilization. Hence attempt has been made in present quest to study impact of addition of composite fibrous material like steel and polypropylene together as 1% and 1.5% of concrete weight as fiber. The present paper analyzes various researches made on FRC till date and summarizes it useful results and outcomes. The consolidated data from review of these papers is helpful in predicting the behaviour of composite FRC and expected outcomes.
