Concrete is brittle material. Reinforcement of concrete with haphazardly distributed short fibres could improve the toughness of cementious matrix by preventing or dominant the initiation and propagation of cracks. Adding one style of fibre into concrete has restricted functions, therefore 2 or a lot of fibres supplemental in concrete to get higher mechanical properties. the most reason for adding steel, plastic, volcanic rock fibre to boost energy absorption capability, plasticity and to produce crack resistance and crack management. This study examines the flexural strength of concrete with 3 completely different fibres with fibre content zero.45% of plastic fibre is unbroken constant in every mixes, 0.1-0.5% of volcanic rock fibre and zero.7-1.3% of steel fibre was varied in every mixes. The tests were carried with M25 grade of concrete and also the results were compared between typical concrete to hybrid fibre concrete and optimisation of Basalt fibre and steel fibre were obtained..
