For that natural and low cost materials are to be used in construction. For that using fibers to improve the characteristics of construction materials Natural fibers are classified into two different form: inorganic form and organic form. India is one of the largest producer of jute fiber. In our project jute fiber was added in the percentage of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. Our project deals with the test on concrete strength. Strength test like compressive strength, split tensile strength. INRODUCTION 1.1 General Concrete technology has developed at a fast pace indeed during the last two decades, and material performance has been significantly improved It is difficult to maintain strength of concrete and increase its durability, so addition of natural fibres is economical way to increase strength of concrete. Natural fibres offer various advantages such as low density, low cost, biodegradability, acceptable specific properties, better thermal and insulating properties, and low energy consumption during processing. Our project deals with fibre reinforced concrete with jute as a fibre reinforcing material in concrete. Initially the attention of researchers was focused on enhancing compressive strength. High strength concrete with a compressive strength over 100Mpa can now be readily designed and manufactured. However the brittleness of concrete increases with an increase in its strength; the higher the concrete strength, the lower its ductility. The addition of fibers into the concrete matrix counteracts its brittleness, producing materials with increased tensile performance, and improved ductility. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete contains fibrous material which increases its structural integrity .It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented .Fiber include steel fibers ,glass fibers, synthetic fibers and natural fibers. Within these different fibers that character of fibers-reinforced concrete changes with varying concretes, fiber materials, geometries, distribution, orientation and densities. A. Objective of the project To determine the properties of fresh concrete with and without jute fibre. To determine the mechanical properties of concrete with jute fibre. To determine the optimum percentage of jute fibre.
