Abstract: Modern world demands high performance/ultra-high-performance concrete (HPC/UHPC) due to increasing infrastructural demands. In most cases, as the strength of the concrete increases with the higher powder content it becomes brittle in high strength concrete than in normal strength concrete. So, addressing this issue is important and therefore the possible increase in the ductile nature of the concrete with incorporation of different fibers needs an experimental investigation. An attempt to evaluate the fatigue performance of FRC using basalt fibers combinations as reinforcing agents. Improvement in performance in terms of flexural behavior, fatigue life and tensile strength is considered as governing parameters of so prepared FRC. Fibers of basalt material composition and size fractions are used as reinforcing elements in order to achieve intended research purpose.
