The development of advanced concrete materials has become increasingly important in addressing the challenges faced by modern civil engineering. This thesis explores the properties and applications of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), a composite material that enhances the mechanical performance and durability of conventional concrete. Drawing from a comprehensive review of the literature, the study examines the microstructure, properties, and behavior of FRC, focusing on its ability to improve tensile strength, ductility, and crack resistance.

The research delves into the role of various types of fibers, including steel, synthetic, and natural fibers, in enhancing the performance of concrete under different loading conditions. Additionally, the incorporation of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, silica fume, and slag is analyzed for their impact on the sustainability and environmental footprint of concrete production.

The findings underscore the potential of FRC in high-performance applications, particularly in the construction of infrastructure that demands superior durability and resilience. The study also addresses the challenges associated with the use of FRC, including issues related to fiber dispersion, cost, and long-term performance.

By integrating the knowledge of material properties and advanced concrete design, this thesis provides insights into the development of more sustainable and efficient concrete materials, contributing to the advancement of civil engineering practices.

Key words:- fibers, advanced concrete materials, durability and resilience, long-term performance etc.
