Concrete is most widely used man made construction material. Different types of experiments done on concrete every day to

improve the properties of concrete. To modify the properties of the concrete different types of cementitious material are used

with admixtures. Main advantage of using cementitous material is to lower down the consumption of cement and also it modifies

the mechanical properties of concrete. Among all cementitious material Fly ash give best performance in strength, durability and

workability aspect of concrete. Use of fiber along with cementitous material in concrete is not new but there is considerably

change in types of fibers which are used in concrete. The main advantage to use fibers with cementitious material is that properly

distribution fibers in concrete. In this paper combination of different types of polypropylene fibers with fly ash are studied on

strength aspect of concrete.
