Abstract: In this investigation M30 grade of concrete is considered for the study. Here cement is constantly replaced with metakaolin by 15% and fine aggregate is partially replaced with WFS in various percentages such as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and using glass fibers 0.5% by weight of cement. The result shows that the concrete with 0.5% glass fibers, 15% constant replacement of cement by metakaolin and 10% replacement of fine aggregate with WFS gave maximum strength.
