The performance of conventional concrete is enhanced by the addition of fibers and Nano silica in concrete. In this paper the behavior of RC slab structures by using Natural hybrid natural Fiber (coir and hair) and Nano silica reinforced Concrete (NHFRC) was determined. The mix design was done for M25 grade concrete as per IS: 10262: 2009. The various percentages of fibers ranging from 0.5% to 2.5% by weight of cement were used in the investigations and the various percentages of Nano silica ranging from 0.2% to 4.5% by weight of cement were used in the investigations. The Simply supported one-way slab specimens were casted with NHFR and Nano silica of the various percentages, cured and tested for 28 day strength. The Static loading behavior of the NHFRC with NS specimen were obtained and compared with control specimens. Hybrid fiber dosages of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5% and the slabs were subjected to two static line loads at third points of the slab by hydraulic jacks. Totally 6 slabs were casted and tested including control slab specimen. The test results shown that use of NHFRC with Nano silica improves loading performance of slab under static loading.
