The objective of these studies to investigate the properties of concrete by using of jute fiber. Different percentage of jute fiber is used in concrete as 0.2%,0.3%,0.4% volume of concrete and analyze the property of concrete. The compressive test was carried out at concrete ages of 7 and 28 days. As the different proportion of the jute fiber is mixed with concrete and cast cube. Final strength of cube were casted for 7 days and 28 days curing. Compressive testing machine is used for testing of the compressive strength of concrete cube. Improving the strength of the structure using Jute fiber as the raw material in construction .Jute fiber is 100% bio-degradable and recycle-ed and thus environmentally friendly with moisture content of 12.6%.Using of jute fiber as a natural fiber in concrete .Jute fiber increases the property of concrete such as compressive strength and bending strength, greater resistance to cracking and hence improved impact strength and toughness. This purpose, M20 grade concrete was selected. In concrete use of jute fiber in a suitable combination may potentially not only improve the overall property of concrete, but may also result in performance synergy.
