Abstract :  Concrete roads are very conventional roads and can provide a safe and smooth flow of traffic. Due to the use of concrete in roads it has become quite an advantage for a greater life span and low maintenance. But concrete roads may undergo cracking, spalling and concrete is weak in tension and also little ductility. So as to mitigate these problems Inclusion of fiber can provide a great benefit to concrete pavement. This Research “The Use of Discrete Fiber in Road Pavements” is done so as to improve the quality of concrete pavement. In this research the fiber used is polypropylene fiber and polyester fiber. The concrete mix used is M35. This Research “The Use of Discrete Fiber in Road Pavements” is done so as to improve the quality of concrete pavement. In this research the fiber used is polypropylene fiber and polyester fiber. The concrete mix used is M35. In one specimen only plain, concrete mi is tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. In second specimen of polypropylene fiber is added with the concrete mix and again tested for the same three tests.
