Nylon Fibre is not an absolute new material and it finds its application in many fields such as mostly in the garment interlinings , tooth brush making , fishing nets , ropes , carpets , strings of musical instruments , nets and building structures. In the present times a very promising and prospective direction of using nylon fibre is fibre-concrete and fibre cement reinforced with nylon fibres. The main reason that nylon fibre is so rarely used in the construction industry of India can be attributed to the fact of its non-availability and its high price of shipping but the general trend of increasing production of nylon fibre and reducing cost might change this scenario prevailing in the construction industry. In this thesis work the effects of adding nylon fibre into the concrete cubes as well as cylinders at varying percentages of 0.00% , 0.10% , 0.20% and 0.30% were studied and a thorough research work was carried out with the successful implementation of compressive and tensile strength check of these nylon fibre reinforced concrete cubes and cylinders. The results showed that the effect of addition of Nylon Fibre on concrete resulted in a considerable amount of increase in compressive and tensile strength characteristics. Finally a comparison about the percentage of materials used and strength of concrete is determined.
