      abstract = {This paper describes the experimental study of fiber reinforced concrete with Manufactured Sand (M-Sand) in addition of crimped steel fibers. Due to high global consumption of natural sand, sand deposit is being depleted and causing serious threat to environment. Since river/natural sand has become a scarce commodity and hence the use of alternatives has become necessary. To overcome the difficulties due to excessive sand mining, M-Sand is used a fine aggregates. Manufactured sand is a very good alternative to natural sand as it is uniform in size, produced from gravel crushes in controlled conditions. The present trend in concrete technology is towards increasing the strength and durability of concrete to meet the demands of modern construction. The demand for high strength and crack resistant concrete led to the development of fiber reinforced concrete. In the present work we study the behaviour of fiber reinforced concrete with m-sand when natural sand is completely replaced with m-sand and fibers of various percentages 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, & 2% are added.},
