Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity. It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented. The most important advantages are hindrance of macro-cracks’ development, delay in micro-cracks’ propagation to macroscopic level. In this project the flexural properties were studied for concrete prepared using different hybrid fibre combinations of glass fibres and polypropylene fibres. The volume fraction of the glass fibres and polypropylene fibres used in this study are 0.4% and 0.5% of total volume of concrete. The flexural properties were studied using centre point loading method on beam specimens. The objective of this study is to evaluate flexural strength of fibre reinforced concrete with respect to different combination of glass fibres and polypropylene fibres. It is observed that quantity of fibres both glass fibres and polypropylene fibres play significant role in increment flexural properties of concrete.
