Abstract

The use of two or more types of fibers in a suitable combination may potentially improve the overall properties of concrete and also result in performance concrete. The combining of fibres, often called hybridization, is investigated in this paper for a M50 grade concrete. Control and two-fiber hybrid composites were cast using different fibre proportions of steel and polypropylene. Reinforced HSC beams containing fibres of two different types in hybrid forms were constructed and tested under cyclic loading to investigate the possibility of obtaining ductile and energy dissipating Reinforced HSC beams to be used in seismically active area. compressive test, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength using cyclic loading were performed and results were extensively analyzed to associated with above fibre combinations. Based on experimental studies, the paper identifies fiber combinations that demonstrate maximum Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete.
