  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials due to its high compressive strength, durability, and versatility in forming various structural shapes. However, its brittle nature and poor tensile strength often lead to the development of cracks under tensile and flexural stresses, which can significantly affect the service life and durability of concrete structures. To overcome these limitations, the concept of fiber reinforcement has been introduced. Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a composite material that contains fibrous materials uniformly distributed within the concrete matrix, which act as crack arresters and enhance ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. In the present study, an experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of M30-grade concrete by incorporating steel and glass fibers, both individually and in combination, to form dual fiber reinforced concrete. The main objective of this investigation was to study the effect of fibers on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of concrete at different curing ages (7, 14, and 28 days) and to determine the optimum fiber dosage for achieving maximum performance. The experimental program involved casting and testing of concrete specimens such as cubes for compressive strength, cylinders for split tensile strength, and prisms for flexural strength.
