abstract: Study has been conducted to investigate the effect of aspect ratio and volume fraction of PVA fibres on the mechanical properties of concrete. Total eighteen (18) mixes of concrete have been examined using metakaolin up to 5 and PVA fibres of aspect ratio 45, 60, 90 and 120 with volume fraction 1 to 2. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength at 7 days and 28 days have been determined to check the effect of volume fraction and the aspect ratio of PVA fibres. It has been found that 2 volume fraction is better than 1 and there is increasing trend up to a certain value of aspect ratio in the strengths of concrete. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
