Abstract : Concrete is a widely used construction material but is known that several properties of plain cement concrete can be improved by the addition of certain fibers in certain percentages and this procedure-oriented substance is known as Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). And one of such most commonly used fibers is steel fiber, which is known to improve the mechanical properties of concrete. The usage of the waste tire as fibers would reduce the environmental degradation and it is also proven that it too can improve the properties of PCC. This paper investigates certain fresh and hardened state properties namely workability, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance of concrete reinforced with both steel and tire fibers in various proportions of the volume of concrete at 0%, 0.25%, 0.75%, 1%, and the results were analyzed.
