As the fibers are distributed randomly, the strength properties of concrete are improved in all directions. A normal concrete matrix is infirm. When it is reinforced with individual fibers uniformly distributed across the whole concrete mass, it becomes strengthened; the fiber reinforced concrete mass behaves as a composite material with properties significantly different from that of normal concrete. Kinds of fibers that are commonly used in fiber Reinforced concrete are polypropylene-, nylon-, polyester-, glass-, carbon-, and steel-fibers. Application of each kind of fiber is wide-ranging. Suitable kind of fiber has to be selected for incorporation in fiber reinforced concrete to get maximum benefits. Using a single type of fiber may improve the properties of fiber reinforced concrete to a limited level only.
