Studying the characteristics of concrete when it incorporates steel fibers produced by various lathe operations is the primary goal of the current research project. We are aware that a significant amount of trash is produced in lathe shops in the form of steel fibers. If we manage these steel fibers and use them in the most cost-effective method, which is by incorporating them with concrete, it increases the quality of concrete while also lowering the cement content. It enhances the concrete's workability and mechanical qualities. In this present research work the steel fibers of diameter 0.6 mm and length 45mm was used with varying percentages of steel fibers of 0%,0.5 %, 1 % ,1.5 % ,2 % ,2.5 % by the weight of concrete of M20 grade with a cement to water ratio of 0.42. According to the analysis of the current study, these steel fibres increase the compressive and flexural split tensile strength. It was also observed that concrete's characteristics were improved byusing straight steel fibres. With the steel fibres we removed from the lathe, we discovered that 2% by weight is the optimum dosage for producing the highest compressive strength of 15%, split strength of 30%, and flexural strength of 42%.
