This paper emphasis on the study of using lathe scrap as fiber reinforced concrete in the innovative construction industry. Every day about 3 to 4kgs of lathe waste are generated by each lathe industries in the Pondicherry region and dumped in the barren soil there by contaminating the soil and ground water, which creates an environmental issue. Hence by adopting proper management by recycling the lathe scrap with concrete is considered to be one of the best solutions. The test were conducted as per the Indian standard procedure for its flexural, split tensile and compressive strength and compared with FRC and conventional PCC. Also the workability of fresh concrete that containing different ratios of lathe scrap was carried out by using slump test. The result showed that addition of lathe scrap in to PCC mixture enhanced its compressive strength while it decreased the workability of the fresh concrete containing the lathe scrap. Keywords: Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), Plain Cement Concrete (PCC), lathe scrap reinforced concrete, lathes scrap.
