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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
