The waste generated from industries causes severe environmental problems. Hence the reuse of this waste material can be emphasized. Fly ash and steel waste is a developing composite material that will allow the concrete industry to optimize material use, generate economic benefits and built structures that will be strong, durable, and sensitive to environment. Fly ash is major by-product of thermal power plants after combustion of coal at high temperature. Steel scrap is another by-product from construction sites, mechanical workshops . In this project, tests were conducted in observation for different combinations , first combination for compressive strength, split tensile strength test for M40 mix by replacing cement with fly ash by keeping constant at 10% and fine aggregate replaced by steel scrap ,other to evaluate results on compressive strength, split tensile strength test by replacing only fine aggregate with steel scrap, third being evaluation of test results on compressive strength , split tensile strength by adding steel scrap as fibre. All these 3 different specimens were cured thereby to evaluate test observations for compressive strength &split tensile strength which are done for 7days,14days, 28days, 60days and 90 days for optimistic percentage of replacement was determined. This study results reviewed that highest compressive strength occurs at the 2% replacement of steel scrap as fibre type added.
