Abstract: There are numerous factors that affect the performance of concrete in terms of strength and durability aspects. Amongst, the pores in the concrete are the one which is playing a foremost role in deciding strength and durability characteristics. The presences of pores in the concrete are due to inferior quality of concrete ingredients, lack of w/c ratio, improper compaction, poor workmanship etc. Many past studies reveal that the presence of fillers materials may reduce the pores on the concrete. But at the same time, the strength and durability should improve a lot. Under these circumstances, the presence of steel fibres in the concrete will give a better solution to arrest the pores and furnish desired results in all aspects. This study is made an attempt to establish the relationship between porosity and compressive strength on the various proportions of steel fibres of M20 and M40 grade concrete.
