Abstract

The main aim of this study is to study the behaviour of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete beam with the addition of waste fiberous materials in the form of hybridization. This hybridization in fiber aims to increase the performance of reinforced concrete beams under flexure. In this research, six mixes have been used under investigated. Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with textile fiber, and steel fiber with maximum of 2.0% volume fraction are used for investigation. Then the two fibers are mixed with the proportion of 1.33%+0.67%, 1%+1%, 0.67%+1.33% volume fraction. The material properties of  conventional concrete is kept as the reference mix in this study. The hybridization of fibers in concrete mix has a notable achievement on the compressive strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and flexural behaviour RC beams. From the results, it was observed that the steel fiber of 1.33% + textile fiber of 0.67% volume fraction mix display better performance under compression, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and flexural behaviour RC beams.
