  • Abstract:
  • Composite concrete is utilized as an additional building material in this case to increase the performance of building components. Aside from that, the increased demand for concrete leads to environmental degradation. Throughout its life, concrete is subjected to a variety of forces that can cause cracking and damage. Fibers are established to rise the mechanical qualities and durability of concrete when used in concrete mixes. Concrete is the most commonly used construction material. Concrete buildings generate cracks over time as a result of varied loads and external factors. Concrete has a fragile structure that can be easily cracked. Fiber reinforcement is thus utilized to improve the characteristics of concrete. The fiber becomes more ductile by transmitting the loading tension caused by adhesion behavior.In this study consider two different kinds of materials which provide tensile strength to concrete. One is glass fiber and second is crumb rubber that was replaced with fine aggregate. For this study use M25 of concrete grade. To study fresh and harden properties of sample perform experiments at different time period. At fresh stage use slump test and after samples get hard samples are test for compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile.
