Abstract
Concrete in construction, is a structural material consisting of a hard, chemically inert particulate substance, known as aggregate (usually sand and gravel) that is bonded together by cement and water. Concrete is good in compression but weak in tension, hence new advancements are implemented like using steel fibres (SF) in concrete which will strengthen the tensile zone. For the current study, 5%, 10% and 15% of cement will be replaced with RHA and a constant SF of 1.75% as total volume of concrete will be added. The fresh, mechanical and durability parameters of the modified concrete will be studied to know the combined effect of SF and RHA. Moreover, non-destructive tests will also be performed to know the in-depth hardened concrete properties
