Abstract

a concrete has strong in compression and weak in tension, impact and flexure. To overcome these properties we need to add some addition to concrete like fibres. Fibres are giving some additional tensile, flexure and impact strength to concrete. In this investigation we are adding Natural fibres like Sisal with a fibre dosage of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% were dispersed into the concrete of mix design M30 grade. The results are compared with conventional concrete so that here increasing the fibre dosage in concrete gradually decrease in compressive strength but increase in split tensile strength flexure strength and bond strength respectively for28 days curing period .so finally while using fibres in concrete we are going to transfer brittle failure to ductility property.
