Concrete is widely used in the engineering field, particularly in construction. Despite its widespread use in the construction industry, concrete is brittle and has a number of drawbacks, including low tension and crack resistance. As a result, many researchers discovered a way to enhance concrete ductility through adding micro steel fibers (MSF) as a reinforcement. This study explores the impact of MSF on slump height, and the toughness of various concrete. To obtain relevant paper for this research, a systematic literature review was used. When 0.5% to 2% MSF were present in the concrete composite, the result shows a positive increment on its strengths. Meanwhile, the toughness impact of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is reduced depending on what type of water used during the mixing process. Aside from that, adding 0.5% to 2% MSF increases the tensile strength of SCC and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Ultimately, incorporating MSF with concrete to increase the durability is a great idea.
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.
