Abstract: In this paper a detail discussion about deflection of concrete prism in polypropylene fibre reinforced High Strength Concrete was done in both theoretical and analytical method. Polypropylene Fibre (Non Metallic Fibre) was used in this work with different proportions in concrete with the range of 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 %, 0.4 % & 0.5 %. Concrete compressive strength of 80 N/mm2 was achieved by trial and error method and marked as a reference Control Specimen. 6 concrete mixes including control specimen prism were casted and tested for 2-point loading condition. Analytical study was done by using STAAD.pro and it was compared with the theoretical results. Both of the result indicates the similar values and it was discussed below in detail.

Keywords: High strength concrete, polypropylene fibre, STAAD.pro
