Cement concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world. The reason for its extensive use is that it provides good workability and can be moulded to any shape. Ordinary cement concrete possesses a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks, leading to brittle failure of concrete. In this modern age, civil engineering constructions have their own structural and durability requirements, every structure has its own intended purpose and hence to meet this purpose, modification in traditional cement concrete has become mandatory. It has been found that different type of fibers added in specific percentage to concrete improves the mechanical properties, durability and serviceability of the structure. It is now established that one of the important properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is its superior resistance to cracking and crack propagation. In this paper effect of fibers on the strength of concrete for M 35 grade have been studied by varying the percentage of fibers in concrete. Fiber content were varied by 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1%. Cubes of size 150mmX150mmX150mm to check the compressive strength and beams of size 75mmX100mmX500mm for checking flexural strength were casted. All the specimens were cured for the period of 7, 14 and 28 days before crushing. The results of steel fiber reinforced concrete with varied percentage of fiber were studied and it has been found that there is significant strength improvement in steel fiber reinforced concrete.While studying the compressive strength of cube is found for about 0.75% the compressive strength is maximum and 1% for flexural strength of the prisms. Also, it has been observed that with the increase in fiber content value increases the strength of concrete.
