Abstract— As we know, India is developing country and in future high strength, high performance and economical concrete is necessary for construction works. The mixture of Lathe machine waste steel scrap fibre and polypropylene Fibre reinforced concrete increases its structural integrity. The characteristics of FRC changes with addition of FRC materials, orientation of fibre, distribution and geometries of FRC. Artificial sand (M-sand) is the best option to replace the river sand and M-sand is purposely prepared, fine crushed aggregate formed under controlled conditions from a suitable sand source rock. The basalt rock is the locally available and it is used as a source for artificial sand. Design mix of M40 grade concrete with replacement of 50% of M-sand has been considered for laboratory analysis. Polypropylene fiber is a light weight synthetic fiber. It prevents crack formation and provides reinforcement to the concrete structure. In this study, a comparison have been made between plain cement concrete and the fibre reinforced concrete containing lathe scrap (steel scrap)in various proportions by weight. The fiber used is irregular in shape and with varying aspect ratio. In this study polypropylene fibers of constant percentage (i.e.1%), Lathe machine waste steel scrap fiber of different percentage (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%), and M-sand of constant percentage (i.e. 50% replacement of river sand) is added to concrete. Tests on workability, comprehensive strength, tensile resistance, flexural strength and durability tests are conducted on specimens and the results of various percentages of fibers in concrete have been compared with plain concrete and the result have been projected.
