The use of fibre reinforcement concrete provides the ductility and toughness required for higher strength. The single type of fibre with reinforcement in concrete improves the mechanical properties at certain level. In concrete the different type of pozzolanic materials are normally used to improve the properties. GGBS can be used as partial replacement of cement for better performance and it helps in producing high strength concrete because of the total participation in hardening process. Fibres are generally used to resist cracking and to assist in strengthening of concrete. Adding a steel and sisal fibres to concrete at low volume dosage rates provides benefits not available in conventional concrete. The use of GGBS, steel and sisal fibre improves the shear strength, torsional structural strength, impact strength and enhanced fatigue and crack resistance. This study focuses on the compression, split tensile and flexural strength properties of M20 grade concrete. The fibre reinforced concrete contains different percentage of GGBS used as partial replacement for cement in addition to steel and sisal fibre. The GGBS is added to the concrete with the percentage of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by the weight of cement and 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% of steel and sisal fibre is used. Concrete specimens casted are cubes, cylinders and beams. After completion of curing process the concrete specimens are tested at 28 days and the final test results are recorded, analyzed and discussed. The strength achieved due to the addition of GGBS and fibres is compared with the nominal concrete and also the strength achieved by GGBS with the addition of steel fibres is compared with the sisal FRC.
