Abstract: In this paper fiber reinforced concrete is a two-phase material consisting of a matrix which is reinforced with randomly oriented small diameter fibers to improve the mechanical properties of the matrix. It increases the tensile strength of the concrete. Two types of fibers have been used in this paper i.e steel fiber and glass fiber. Steel fiber reinforced concrete is a homogeneous distribution of randomly oriented discontinuous and discrete steel fibers. It is available in the forms of Carbon steel or stainless steel. It has a high tensile and compressive strength. The Glass fibers are formed by drawing the molten material rapidly from a melted batch in a crucible or furnace. Glass fibers do not have a negative effect on the well-known high compressive strength of concrete. Thus, it shows that the fiber reinforced concrete is in good workable condition rather than without super plasticizer. The addition of 2% steel fiber and 0.5% -1% of glass fiber in concrete is found to be optimum as well as effective and economical as it gives good compression, tensile, and flexural strength for the concrete.
