The most popular material used in construction is concrete. A cement paste that can flow holds together concrete, a composite material made of fine and coarse aggregate.In this work, a short trial is conducted to change the mechanical properties of Pine apple leaf fibre reinforced concrete using zeolite powder and dunite powder as a partial replacement cement. The cement is partially replaced with 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%,15% and 18% zeolite powder and 20%,40% and 60%, as well as addition of pine apple leaf fibre in concrete with percentages 0.1%, 0.2%,0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5%. When cement is replaced with zeolite powder the optimum strength increases 27.02% at 15% zeolite powder and 7.89% at 40% dunite powder, by addition of pine apple leaf in concrete at 0.3% the strength increases 13.84%. Combine replacement of 15%zeolite powder,40% dunite powder and 0.3% pineapple leaf fibre the strength increases 37.86%. Compressive strength , split tensile test results for concrete must be determined after 7 and 28days.
