This study investigates the combined effect of deploying Nano-Silica (NS) and banana fibers (BF) on mechanical properties of hardened concrete. NS has been used as the partial replacement of cement by 0, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 and 4.5% by weight, and BF has used as volume substitution by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6%. In our present investigation, banana fibres having 40mm length were used. Compressive strength and split tensile strengthare determinedby using various combinations of NS and BF.
