The present experimental investigations is to evaluate the flexural behavior and mechanical properties of low volume natural fibers reinforced concrete of M40 grade with water to cement ratio of 0.4. The natural fibers such as jute, pineapple, steel and sisal fibers with low volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% with 22mm and 30mm length of each fiber are used for this investigation. The workability properties of concrete are demonstrated by the test such as slump test, compaction factor. Mechanical properties like compressive, flexural, tensile and shear strength, young’s modulus and impact resistance was conducted for 28days with water curing. From the literature review, it observed that mechanical properties like compressive, tensile, flexural strength, young’s modulus, shear strength and impact resistance were increased with increasing in the percentage of fibers.

Sisal fiber, Jute fibers, pineapple fiber, split tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, Impact resistance, young modulus, shear strength.
