The Effects of Steel Fibers on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete

Abstract

Civil Engineering and concrete has the same monolithic relationship as that of body and soul. Without concrete, civil engineering seems to be meaningless. For normal construction, concrete of 3000 - 4000 Psi is being used throughout the world. This is for ordinary construction but if there is some special construction such as precast and pre-stressed concrete structures, nuclear reactors, blast resistance structures etc, then concrete with superior mechanical properties is required. Therefore for
