Abstracts: Fiber reinforcement is commonly used to provide toughness and ductility to brittle cementitious matrices. Reinforcement of concrete with a single type of fiber may improve the desired properties. This study aims to characterize and quantify the mechanical properties of fibre reinforced concrete. For this purpose three mixes, one normal mix and three fiber reinforced mixes were prepared. Volume percentage of macro fibre inclusion was kept between 0.5% to 1.0% for aspect ratio 50.
