This research paper investigates the effect of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete (HFRC) on the strength characteristics of concrete in aggressive environmental conditions. In response to the limitations of conventional concrete in highly aggressive environments, the study explores the incorporation of steel and polypropylene fibers to enhance concrete's ductility, tensile strength, and energy absorption capacity. The research program includes experimental tests on HFRC specimens with varying fiber compositions to evaluate compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. Results reveal that the addition of fibers significantly improves concrete strength, with the optimum combination of 75% steel fibers and 25% polypropylene fibers offering the highest increase in compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths compared to plain concrete. The findings highlight the potential of HFRC as a durable and sustainable construction material for various structural applications in aggressive environments.
