The cement industry is the third largest carbon dioxide emitter after housing and transport. It is so popular and abundant in use.The easiest way to reduce CO2 emission is to replace cement in the concrete mix with supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash, Rice Husk Ash. However this will reduce the early strength and might hamper productivity. This paper presents concrete fiber composites like coirs, steel fibres. This paper is an experimental study of resistivity of different mix proportions of concrete and their strength. Analysis by electrical resistivity method is discussed. Interest of electrical resistivity measurement (totally non destructive) is studied, elaborated with destructive tests on concrete
