TRC (Textile reinforced concrete) is like a whiz in the Civil Construction Market. From many years research and developments are going on for introducing fibres into the various applications to get the best results. People have started using textile fibres successfully in many of the application like fibre reinforced concrete, fibre reinforced plastic, medical textile, geo textile etc. In fibre reinforced concrete, the conventional concrete nature is to shrink as soon as it dries and the product changes its volume and starts generating minor cracks. Since, the water content inside the product had evaporated leaving the pores inside it into a minor crack. So, with the use of textile fibres it will be possible to some extent to reduce crack by evenly distributing fibres in the concrete mixture. The addition of fibres upto some extend will increase the tensile and compressive strength. However, different fibres provide different properties based on their nature. In this paper, we will study how different fibres like Polypropylene, Steel, Nylon, Acrylic, Carbon and Glass along with their properties and will compare them to understand that which fibre suits best for particular application. Also we will discuss about the best performer fibre that can be used for any particular end use application.
