ABSTRACT
This study is aimed at investigating the shear strength and work ability characteristics of Fiber Reinforced High
Strength Concrete (FRHSC) which use recycled coarse aggregates that have originated from demolished
construction wastes. Different mixes were taken with 20%, 40% replacement of natural coarse aggregate with
recycled coarse aggregate. To improve the ductility and performance, 1% steel fiber is also added to the concrete.
The concrete has main advantage that it has a better compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete
can be represented as cube or cylinder compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete is depending on
size and shape of the test specimens. In this study, the conventional concrete was reinforced by the plastic fibers
obtained from waste plastic bottles. The cube and cylinder compressive strength of conventional concrete and
plastic fibers reinforced concrete were determined in the laboratory. The M30 grades of concrete and two fiber
geometry at volume fractions 0.0 % to 3.0 % were used in the experimentations. All specimens were tested after
curing age 28 days. In this paper the relationship between cube and cylinder compressive strength for conventional
and plastic fibers reinforced concrete were established and compared with standards.
