Road transportation is without a doubt the life line of the country and its advancement is a pivotal worry to accomplish fast and supported monetary development in the changing technological development. The conventional bituminous pavement and their requirements for constant support and restoration operations focuses towards the extension for an incessant method, with concrete road strengthening to be a genuine activity for quite a while to come. At the point when rigid pavement are built, the blend configuration of cement concrete is engaged around the compressive quality, which is used to ensure that the objective flexural quality as envisioned in framework is achieved before long, however extravagant in starting theory, is modest in long keep running in light of low upkeep costs. Present paper manages exploratory examination on mechanical properties of M40 evaluation concrete by concreting polypropylene fibers in measurements of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% by weight of cement with the general mix. The paper concentrates how the compressive and flexural quality of the Pavement increments utilizing polypropylene fibers.
