Recently, addition of various natural fibers to high strength concrete has aroused great interest in the field building materials. This is because are much cheaper and locally available, as compare synthetic fibers. Keeping view, this current research conducted mainly focuses on static properties hybridized (sisal/coir), sisal coir fiber-reinforced concrete. Two types were used experiment with different lengths 10, 20 30 mm fiber concentrations 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% by mass cement, investigate reinforced (SFRC), (CFRC) hybrid (HFRC). The results indicate that HFRC increased compressive up 35.98% length 0.5% concentration, while CFRC SFRC 10 1% concentration have 33.94% 24.86%, respectively. On another hand, split tensile was 25.48%, 24.56% 11.80%, respectively, but decreased 2.28% compared PC. Overall, using provide maximum output terms strength.
