(FRC) is a concrete (uniform paste of cement, aggregate & water)containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity.

It contains short discrete fibres that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented.

The concept of using fibers as reinforcement is not new In 1900s, asbestos fibers were used in concrete

BY THE 1960S,STEEL, GLASS , AN SYNTHETIC FIBERS SUCH AS POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS WERE USED IN CONCRETE

RESEARCH INTO NEW FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETES CONTINUES TODAY.
