This paper emphasis on the study of using lathe scrap as fiber reinforced concrete in the innovative construction
industry. Every day about 3 to 4kgs of lathe waste are generated by each lathe industries in the Pondicherry region and dumped
in the barren soil there by contaminating the soil and ground water, which creates an environmental issue. Hence by adopting
proper management by recycling the lathe scrap with concrete is considered to be one of the best solutions. The test were
conducted as per the Indian standard procedure for its flexural, split tensile and compressive strength and compared with FRC
and conventional PCC.
