The concern of Civil Engineering is to assure the most economic construction with optimum strength and serviceability. This paper deals with the use of steel shaving and steel fibre in concrete to enhance its electric conductivity. A comparative study of the properties of concrete was conducted using steel shaving only, containing steel fibre only and containing both steel shaving and steel fibers. Workability and surface finishability was also used as primary evaluation criteria. Effect on Humans due to flow of current through concrete was also considered. Key Words: Steel Shaving, Steel Fibre, Flexural strength, Electrical conductivity, Workability, etc. I. INTRODUCTION Concrete, usually Portland cement concrete, is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens over time—most frequently a lime-based cement binder, such as Portland cement, but sometimes with other hydraulic cements, such as a calcium aluminate cement. It is distinguished from other, non- cementitious types of concrete all binding some form of aggregate together, including asphalt concrete with a bitumen binder, which is frequently used for road surfaces, and polymer concretes that use polymers as a binder. Aggregate, when mixed together with dry Portland cement and water, the amalgam forms a fluid slurry that is easily poured and molded into the desired shape. The cement reacts chemically with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material. Often, additives (such as pozzolans or superplasticizers) are included in the mixture to improve the physical properties of the wet mix or the finished material. Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete. Steel fibres and shavings mixed into the concrete can provide an alternative to the provision of conventional steel bars or welded fabric in some applications. Fibres being used off and on to replace the nominal conventional steel fabric in ground bearing slabs have made their place in construction industries. Steel fibre, which were hitherto neglected, are now immensely being used in suspended ground floor slabs on piles to replace much, and in many cases, all of the reinforcement. Mammoth savings in the cost of endowing and fixing the typical welded fabric reinforcement that is replaced can offset the adjunct cost of adding fibres to the concrete. There will be definitely add-on health and safety sanatives stemming from the reduced handling of reinforcement. II. SCOPE  The conductivity value of concrete reinforced with steel fibres and shavings is stable with insignificant effects of moisture content, hydration time and temperature on conductivity.  Being, conductive concrete has a density of about 70 percent that of normal concrete.
