This study begins by introducing the basic components of concrete and addressing environmental concerns associated with its production, particularly the depletion of natural aggregates. As potential solutions fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is explored for their ability to enhance sustainability. A comprehensive review of existing literature follows, covering natural fibers, their treatment methods and the potential benefits of combining these materials in concrete. The study then defines its objectives and scope, focusing on evaluating the effects of natural fibers on the compressive strength, workability, and density of concrete, while also assessing their role in promoting environmental sustainability.
Experimental investigation involves the mix design for M25 grade concrete, preliminary testing, and casting and testing of concrete cubes and beams, offering insights into the performance of fiber-reinforced concrete.
Keywords: Fiber Reinforcement Concrete, Workability of Concrete, Density of Concrete, M25 Grade Concrete, Eco-efficient Concrete.
