The purpose of experimental study is to find the effect of quartz powder and crimped fibers on strength properties of concrete. A partial substitution of cement by an quartz powder are utilized as a replacement of cement. It is proposed to study the cement is partially replaced the material of 10%,20%&30% of quartz powder and crimped fibers with constant ratio 1.5.The impact shared utilization of quartz powder and fibers on compressive strength, split tensile strength of M25 grade of concrete is studied. To tackle it, we chose quartz; a mineral commonly found in cement-based matrices and supposed to be chemically inert because of its crystalline structure. The pozzolanic reaction of quartz is a complex dissolution precipitation reaction influenced by numerous parameters. It is only barely perceptible for the particle diameters exceeding a certain critical size. The XRD analysis is carried out to know the bond characteristics in the concrete specimens
