Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. The addition of mineral admixture in cement has dramatically increased along with the development of concrete industry, due to the consideration of cost saving, energy saving, environmental protection and conservation of resources. However, environmental concerns both in terms of damage caused by the extraction of raw material and carbon dioxide emission during cement manufacture have brought pressures to reduce cement consumption by the use of supplementary materials. The nylon fibres are very useful as it has variety of applications like high strength, durability, tensile strength but its disposal pose a serious threat in environment. In present study, various proportions of nylon fibre are added in concrete and its effect on workability, compressive strength and tensile strength will be evaluated. The nylon fibre material of diameter 0.35mm and length of 1800mm will be used in 1% from 0.5 to 1.5% by weight in cement after getting optimum result from the experiment. Nylon fibre added in concrete improves the tensile strength but decreases the workability. For this Metakaolin will be added which improves the workability of concrete. So, In present study cement is partially replaced with 1% Nylon fibres and Metakaolin in variation of 3%, 6%, upto 21% are added in M50 and M60 grade of concrete. Comparison will be carried in terms of workability, compressive strength and durability.
