Abstract
Concrete is good in compression, and its poor tensile capacity is the major problem in conventional concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is an effective measure to improve the tensile characteristics of concrete, and hybrid fiber reinforced concrete is the recent technology in which the fibers are added in combination in the same system. This article mainly explores the strength aspects of M30 grade hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, and impact strength tests were conducted to understand the influence of single and combinations of fibers in the concrete. In addition to the strength criteria dry density, fresh properties like slump flow and micro structural characteristics are also examined. HyFRC compressive strength increases in the range of 8–12% when compared to control concrete. Split tensile strength and impact strength results show excellent performance in HyFRC. Among all strength values, the improvement in flexural strength is dominant in hybrid FRC series and this composite is exclusively suitable for the performance-based design of structures and special applications.
