Abstract: All materials or products, plants, constructions and building made of structural elements are subjected to physical wear during use. Corrosion is a multi- billion dollar problem. Corrosion causes deterioration of material and leads to destruction of structures ultimately affects the environment. Corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical phenomenon which can attack any metal or substances through reaction by the surrounding environment. The second is conservation, applied primarily to metal resources, the world’s supply of which is limited. The project is aimed at preventing corrosion that is minimising the rate of corrosion using polypropylene fibre and epoxy coating. In this work an attempt is planned to study the effects of fibres in concrete and to study the coating provided to the reinforcement. To accelerate the corrosion for a short term process of impressed current is induced. In this project it is aimed to study the effect of coating given to the reinforcement and effect of adding fibre in the concrete

Keywords: Fibre, Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength.
