Concrete is one of the most versatile and most extensively used construction material in the worldwide. Concrete is the composite material consists of cement, water, fine and coarse aggregate. Unlike the other building material it has wide range of performance. But it has some deficiencies like brittleness, poor tensile and impact strength, fatigue, low ductility and energy absorption. To overcome these deficiencies fibres are added to the concrete and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is developed. In this research work 3D and 4D steel fibres 90.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1% by volume of concrete ) are added to the concrete and mechanical properties have been studied. It was found that from slump cone test results workability of concrete reduced with the increase in fibre content. And also it was found that enrichment of mechanical properties with inclusion of 3D and 4D steel fibres in concrete.
