Abstract


In modern times reinforced concrete, composite concrete, is made. It has been used successfully to build its outstanding flexural strength, resistance, impact resistance and strength and frost resistance. It is an effective way to increase durability, shock resistance and cracking of plastic cement cracks. Fiber is added as a reinforcement material with some characteristic features. They can be round, triangular or flat in the cross section. Fiber is usually defined by simple parameters called-- factor ratio. Fiber feature measurement is its length and its back size. The main reason for inserting fibers in cement matrix is to increase the strength and durability and improve the resistance to cracking of the resulting cracks. For fiber Reinforced Concrete to be a viable construction material, it must be able to economically complete with the existing reinforcement system. The reinforced concrete slab is reinforced with concrete by adding briefly separated strands to the concrete. It shows many stable and advanced engineering structures such as compressive strength, strength, flexural strength etc. Fibers are able to prevent cracks in the ground by the act of cleaning which leads to better resistance to concrete. The combination of two or more different fibers is very common these days with the aim of improving the overall performance of the system. The goal is that the performance of these hybrid systems will outweigh the potential for each type of fiber. Hybrid is based on fiber-based reactions, in which one fiber is stronger and stronger and more powerful, while the other is ductile and provides difficulty in difficult areas (Banthiaand Nandakumar 2003 Hybrids are based on fiber size, where one fiber is too small and provides less control in the early stages of loading and the other fiber is larger, provides a way to close large cracks. Hybrid is also based on fiber performance, where one type of fiber provides strength or durability to a complex composite, while the second type offers new blending properties ready for processing.
