Abstract: This study focuses on influence of pine fibres on unit weight, compressive strength and flexural strength of high strength concrete. Concrete mixes with 2%, 4% and 6% fibre content were produced while length of the fibres were varied from 10 mm to 40 mm. From the pine fibre reinforced mixes, 36 test cubes and 36 beam specimens were casted to identify the desired variations. Unit weight of the concrete showed significant variations in the test cubes. However, the variations of the unit weight observed in the beam specimens were low compared to the variations observed in test cubes. Compressive strength of the high strength concrete also reduced significantly with the addition of pine fibres. Also a reduction in flexural strength was observed. Variation of both compressive and flexural strength showed a relationship with the fibre content and fibre length as well.
