Abstract

Due to its innate strength and durability, concrete is a material that is frequently utilized in building. However, traditional concrete has certain drawbacks, including low impact resistance, low tensile strength, and low flexural strength. Steel fibers are incorporated into the concrete mixture to enhance its mechanical qualities in order to get around these restrictions. The mechanical characteristics of conventional concrete and fibrous concrete with different volume fractions of micro and macro steel fibers are reviewed in this work. The concrete's tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance are all greatly increased by the insertion of steel fibres. Research have revealed that a fibre volume percentage of 1.5% often results in the greatest improvement. These findings have significant ramifications for the application of fibrous concrete in building projects, particularly in those requiring strong mechanical qualities.
