Abstract: Theaim of this project is to study the strength and durability of concrete when cement is partially replaced by saw dust ash and poly propylene fiber. The attempt has been made to compare the 7 day , 14 day and 28 day compressive strength and 28 day split tensile and flexural strength of concrete of M25 grade. The experiment has been carried out on M25 grade of concrete , wood ash in different percentage 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and poly propylene 0.15%.

Keywords: specific gravity, compressive strength, poly propylene fibre, wood ash, cement content, concrete testing.
