In recent years, some investigations are reported on Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag and Meta kaolin individually. Utilization of steel fibers is known to enhance the flexural strength in concrete beams, but the focus of the present study is to investigate experimentally the flexural behavior of the beam section with steel fibers and Metakaolin. Combination of both known as Fiber Reinforced Metakaolin Concrete. The study reported in the report presents experimental work on combined use of Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag and Calcium Carbide Residue and with Meta kaolin and Calcium Carbide Residue in concrete and showing the comparison at various replacement levels and at various ages. Grade of concrete pick for present study is M-40. The present investigation aims to study the behavior of concrete beams filled with steel fiber reinforced concrete in partial depth ranging from 0.25d to 1d.For this, M 40 grade of concrete mixes with or without Meta kaolin along with 0.5% fibers, 1.0%, and 1.5% fibers were made. The percentage of Meta kaoline used only 10% as a replacement of Cement used. Beam specimens of 100*100*500 mm were cast and tested respectively for flexural strength anddeflection at 28 days.
