 INTRODUCTION

 We know that concrete is one of the most widely used

construction material.
 Concrete is a brittle material which has low tensile strength &
little resistance to cracking.
 These properties which limits the application of concrete can
be overcome by the inclusion of smaller quantity of fibre.
 Fibre reinforced concrete is a concrete containing fibrous
material which increases its structural integrity.
 Fibres are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented in the
concrete.
 Steel fibres have high tensile & compressive strength and more
durable.
 Glass fibres can control & prevent cracking and corrosion in
concrete.
 FIBRE
 Fibre is a natural or synthetic substance that is significantly
longer than it’s wide.
 Fibre having aspect ratio between 30 to 150 generally used as
a fibre reinforced concrete.
WHY FIBRE ?

 Control cracking due to plastic and drying shrinkage.

 Reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce
bleeding.
 Produce greater impact, abrasion and shatter resistance in
concrete.
 Increase the structural integrity.
 Higher tensile and flexural strength.
 Improve durability.
 Energy absorption capacity.
 Reduce the quantity of rebars without loss of strength.
 TYPES OF FIBRE

1) Steel fibre
2) Glass fibre
3) Synthetic fibre
4) Natural fibre
