Built up substantial designs in chilly regions frequently weaken right on time because of steel erosion. Fiber-Supported Concrete (FRC) offers a practical choice to upgrade strength and break opposition. This study looks at hybrid ferro fiber-reinforced concrete slabs that use spot-welded mesh, polypropylene fibers (PPF), and silica fume in varying proportions in a mortar mix (1:2). A control RCC slab (1:2:4) and ferrocement slabs with 0.10%, 0.30%, and 0.50% PPF were among the thirteen one-way slabs tested. The steel proportion in ferrocement sections shifted from 25% to 100 percent of the control chunk's steel region. Under third-point loading, deflection, stress-strain behavior, cracking load, and energy absorption were used to evaluate structural performance. When compared to the RCC control slab, the results showed that slabs with 0.5% PPF and 10% silica fume had a 15.25 percent increase in first cracking load and a 13.2% increase in ultimate deflection. This suggests that slabs with higher PPF and steel mesh reinforcement had better post-cracking behavior and were better able to absorb energy.
