Concrete is one of the most widely recognized development material for the most part delivered by utilizing locally accessible ingredients. The present trend in concrete technology is towards increasing the strength and durability of concrete to meet the demands of the modern construction. Plain concrete possess very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to propagation of such micro cracks.. Fibre reinforced concrete has the high tensile strength and fire resistant properties thus reducing the loss of damage during fire accidents. In the present work the strength studies are carried out to compare the steel and glass fibre concrete. The FRC is added 0%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.75% & 2% are added for M30 grade concrete. Result shows the percentage increase in compressive strength for 28days. To obtain the maximum compression strength for addition of steel fibres and glass fibre is found to be greater than the convention. The main aim of the study is to study the effect of steel fibre and glass fibre in the concrete. The present paper outlines the experimental investigation conducts on the use of steel fibres and glass fibres with structural concrete.
