The mechanical tests of hybrid steel-polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (HSPFRC) have been carried out. Concretes containing different volume fraction and aspect ratio of steel and polypropylene fibers mixed in one concrete grade were critically analyzed in terms of compressive, split tensile, axial tensile properties. Test results show that the fibers, when used in a hybrid form, can result in superior mechanical performance compared to their individual fiber-reinforced concretes.
