The document reports the results of tests conducted on concrete with different fiber additions and mixing times. Compressive strength was highest at 28 days for concrete with no fibers added. Split tensile strength increased with the addition of glass fibers (GF) or polypropylene fibers (PP) up to 0.5% by volume. Flexural strength was also highest for concrete with 0.5% GF. For GF concrete, compressive strength generally decreased as mixing time increased from 10 to 30 minutes, with the lowest strength for 30 minute mixing.
