“…Moreover, in the 1960s, the concept of fibers addition in cementitious concrete was initiated in which short dispersed fibers were used for incorporation into concrete to enhance the tensile strength of concrete by decreasing its brittleness, ultimately resulting in a particular concrete type named fiberreinforced concrete [4,5]. The incorporation of fibers such as metallic/steel fibers [6][7][8], natural fibers [9,10], synthetic fibers [11][12][13], and mineral fibers [2,8,14] in concrete is performed [15] for enhancing the toughness behavior of concrete [16,17]. The concept of fiber spacing theory for fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) was initially introduced by Batson [18].…”

Biodegradable materials are appropriate for the environment and are gaining immense attention worldwide. The mechanical properties (such as elongation at break, density, and failure strain) of some natural fibers (such as Coir, Hemp, Jute, Ramie, and Sisal) are comparable with those of some synthetic fibers (such as E glass, aramid, or Kevlar). However, the toughness of coconut fibers is comparatively more than other natural fibers. Numerous studies suggest coconut fibers perform better to improve the concrete mechanical properties. However, the knowledge is dispersed, making it difficult for anyone to evaluate the compatibility of coconut fibers in concrete. This study aims to perform a scientometric review of coconut fiber applications in cementitious concrete to discover the various aspects of the literature. The typical conventional review studies are somehow limited in terms of their capacity for linking different literature elements entirely and precisely. Science mapping, co-occurrence, and co-citation are among a few primary challenging points in research at advanced levels. The highly innovative authors/researchers famous for citations, the sources having the highest number of articles, domains that are actively involved, and co-occurrences of keywords in the research on coconut-fiber-reinforced cementitious concrete are explored during the analysis. The bibliometric database with 235 published research studies, which are taken from the Scopus dataset, are analyzed using the VOSviewer application. This research will assist researchers in the development of joint ventures in addition to sharing novel approaches and ideas with the help of a statistical and graphical description of researchers and countries/regions that are contributing. In addition, the applicability of coconut fiber in concrete is explored for mechanical properties considering the literature, and this will benefit new researchers for its use in concrete.

“…However, due to the natural properties of concrete, it bears a few shortcomings like less tensile resistance, more brittleness, lower strain capacity, and less resistance toward crack initiation and propagation (Huang et al, 2022). To cater such issues, the addition of fibers like synthetic fibers (Qin et al, 2019;Ahmed and Lim, 2021b;Rezaie et al, 2021;Meng et al, 2022), metallic/steel fibers (Zhang et al, 2020), natural fibers (Khan et al, 2018b;Farooqi and Ali, 2019;Ahmad W. et al, 2020;Farooqi and Ali, 2022), and mineral fibers (Khan et al, 2018a;Ahmed and Lim, 2021a;Akbar and Liew, 2021;Khan et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2022a), in concrete is usually made (Cao et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020;Ye et al, 2021) to improve its toughness (Khan et al). The fiber incorporation into concrete started back in the early 1960s.…”

A progressive advance in the construction sector is attained by employing ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) technology. Rigorous efforts have been made in this research domain to have remarkable quality levels with 150 MPa or more strength and significant durability, which was impossible previously. Steel fiber incorporation in UHPC is vital in improving its mechanical characteristics. This review on the incorporation of steel fibers in UHPC evaluates, identifies, and synthesizes research outcomes for creating a summary of current evidence that can contribute to evidence-based practice. This study summarized a review of the literature on steel fibers’ effect on UHPC, intending to explore its essential aspects. The aim is to summarize the literature in this research domain and provide guidance for future research. Moreover, the basic requirements and materials, mixing and casting, mechanical properties, modern applications, advantages and disadvantages, and future perspectives associated with steel fibers reinforced UHPC in the construction sector are discussed. It is revealed from the conducted analysis that the most widely applied keyword is “steel fibers.” Due to the graphical illustration of the contributing studies, the current work may benefit academic scholars in sharing novel techniques and ideas and establishing collaborative efforts. Furthermore, the present work reveals that steel fibers have the potential to enhance the mechanical properties of UHPC; however, the large-scale production and applications of steel fiber-reinforced UHPC are controlled by parameters like fiber content and geometry.

In the construction industry, the incorporation of steel fibers in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is vital for improving its mechanical characteristics. In order to identify the essential factors of UHPC, the literature on the effect of steel fibers on UHPC is reviewed using scientometric methods in this work. The review contains complex processes like knowledge mapping, co-occurrence, and co-citation. In order to analyze the bibliographic data on the impact of steel fibers on UHPC, this study makes use of contemporary methodologies for data processing, mining, analysis, presentation, and visualization. The aim is to provide direction for further research in this area by summarizing the literature. In order to achieve this goal, data from the Scopus database, including publication sources, top authors, keywords, significant publications, and nations contributing the most to the subject, are retrieved and examined. According to the scientometric analysis, the most frequently used keyword is “steel fibers,” “Construction and Building Materials” is the most popular publication source in terms of citations and articles, and China is the top-ranking nation in the industry. Academic scholars can gain from this study’s graphical and quantitative portrayal of the contributing researchers and nations by making it easier to share concepts and form collaborative initiatives. This study also shows that steel fibers can improve the mechanical properties of UHPC but their widespread manufacturing and use are dependent on factors including the fiber content and geometry.
