Evalution on Strength Concrete Containing Micro Steel Fiber: A Review

Abstract

Concrete has been used for a very long period in construction sites all over the globe. Concrete is very crucial in producing structural members in any building structure. It has to be strong enough to bear the loads of building so that it will not be failed. This article focused on a critical review of concrete containing micro steel fibres (MSF) in order to improve its ductility. In this study, the research is to determine whether the usage of micro steel fibre can improve the compressive and splitting tensile strength of concrete or not. In general, the strength of the concrete improves as the amount of MSF in the matrix increases. All the assessments conducted in all the paper that has been reviewed are following the standard test of British Standard. In a nutshell, the addition of micro steel fibre to concrete does have a huge impact on the tensile and compressive strength. The properties of concrete are expected to enhanced compared to normal concrete; however, the tensile strength does not show any improvement.
