The present study focus on the behaviour and strength of SIFCON with combination of two fibers. Thedifferent fibers that were used in this experiment were steel fiber and polypropylene fiber. The different fiber volumeconsidered was 4.5, 5, and 5.5% with different fiber combination ratios. In each fiber volume, 3 different fibercombination ratios were used. The fiber combination ratios are in the form steel fiber : polypropylene fiber. The ratiosare 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1. Results indicate that amongst 4.5, 5 and 5.5 percentage with different fiber combination ratios ofsteel and polypropylene fibers, 5.5% with 2:1 ratio showed the optimum value in compression, tension and as well as inflexural strength. For 5.5% with 1:2 ratios, the results showed a decrease in strength compared to 5.5% with 2:1 ratio,but it showed a bridging effect to resist crack. Also, the crack width and density of specimen can be reduced byintroducing polypropylene fibers in combination.
