ABSTRACT The present study reviews advancement in the field of fiber reinforced cementitious composites. Cement is a great source for the construction of buildings, dams, bridges, etc., because of its high compressive strength but it has low tensile and flexural strength. Thus, for improving its properties, cement is reinforced with fibers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNT reinforced cement gives higher tensile and flexural strength in comparison to fiber reinforced cement composite materials. Though significant research has been done in this area over the past decade, but more challenges need to be addressed. Future work on the CNT reinforced cementitious composite, includes the analysis of durability of nano-reinforced concrete, including crack propagation and fracture behavior, mechanical characteristics after exposure to different conditions. Key words: Cement; Fibers; Carbon nanotubes; Mechanical properties.

INTRODUCTION In the past decade, the development regarding the application of cement in industrial and construction industry has been vastly studied. Cement is a binding agent, a substance which is utilized as a part of development that sets and solidifies and can tie different materials together. It is utilized as a segment in the creation of mortar and concrete to frame a solid building material. It can be isolated into two fundamental classes, hydraulic and nonhydraulic cement. It is the most broadly utilized development material on the planet. It displays great fineness, soundness, setting time, quality and particular gravity, however it has poor elastic
