This study presents the experimental study on effect of glass fibers, steel fibers and hybrid fibers (combination of steel and glass) in the mechanical and chemical properties of concrete in comparison with the conventional concrete. The steel fibers, glass fibers and their combination are added to the normal conventional concrete to impart good strength properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength to the concrete. It also enhances the chemical resistance, permeability, impact strength and other properties of concrete. The aim of the work is to study the properties of steel fibers, glass fibers and hybrid fibers for the properties of concrete for different proportions from the research work carried out by various researchers.
