by Fiber reinforced concrete consists of short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented. It helps improve the structural integrity of concrete by bridging cracks. Fiber reinforced concrete provides higher strength, flexibility, ductility, modulus of rupture, and impact resistance as compared to normal concrete. It is widely used in industrial floors, pavements and overlays, precast products, tunnels, bridges, and marine structures owing to its excellent durability and reduced maintenance costs.
