Abstract: This paper presents the result of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete with steel fiber and Portland pozzolana cement. The experimental investigation carried out on steel fibers concrete up to a total fiber volume fraction of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% and fly ash in which port land pozzolana cement (PPC) was partially replaced with 30% fly ash. The mechanical properties, compressive strength and flexural strength were studied for concrete prepared. Compressive strength and flexural strength were determined at 21& 28days. The laboratory results showed that addition of steel fibers reinforced into PPC concrete decreases the strength properties. While the results showed that steel fibers addition into PPC concrete improve the strength properties. Key Word: Steel Fiber; vacaine; port land pozzolana cement; References 1.
