Sisal fibres are the natural fibres which are used as the reinforcement in concrete. SisalFiber reinforced concrete is a concrete containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity. The addition of sisal fibers to concrete considerably improves its structural characteristics such as compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength. The sisal fibres added in various percentages such as 1%, 2% and 3%. This paper highlights about the behavior of concrete when Groundnut Shell Ash and sisal fiber are added in concrete. Groundnut Shell Ash has been used by replacing cement in percentages, and sisal fibers are added by volume of cement in different percentages. Based on a general analysis of the results as well as the logical comparison to the acceptable standard, a percentage replacement of 5% GSA and addition of 2% sisal fibers are suggested for sustainable construction. Then flexural strength of concrete beam was calculated with these percentages.
