The use of local materials in construction of buildings is one of thepotential ways to support sustainable development in both urban and rural areas. Banana fibers are widely available world wide as agricultural waste from Banana cultivation. Banana fibers are environmentally friendly and present important attributes, such as low density, light weight, low cost, high tensile strength, as well as being water and fire resistant. This kind of waste has a greater chance of being utilized for different application in construction and building material.In our project we investigates the strength behavior of concrete reinforced with banana fibres to improve the strength and practices of concrete. These banana fibres have good physical and mechanical properties and can be employed more productively. Banana fibres are economical, ecological and perishable. In this investigation, three different percentages of banana fibres 0.5%, 1%,1.5% having 60mm length was used. Ordinary Portland cement of grade 53 and M40& M25grade concrete were used. At various periodical ages, the banana fibre reinforced concrete is tested for compressive strength, split tensile strength,flexural strength test
