Abstract

In contemporary construction practices, the utilization of concrete has become indispensable for various civil engineering projects worldwide. Concrete, augmented with both natural and artificial fibers, plays a crucial role in bearing compressive loads and efficiently transferring structural loads to the reinforcement and foundation. The current research delves into exploring the transformative effects of different mix designs, incorporating varying percentages of steel fibers, on the behavior of concrete. The study encompasses a comprehensive analysis of key performance indicators, including compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile test, wet and dry density, and slump test to assess concrete workability. The findings of the investigation reveal a notable enhancement in the strength characteristics of steel fiber-reinforced concrete compared to conventional concrete. This improvement is indicative of the positive influence exerted by the incorporation of steel fibers within the concrete matrix. It underscores the potential of steel fiber reinforcement as a viable strategy for achieving superior concrete performance. The results affirm that, with judicious consideration and proper implementation, introducing steel fibers to concrete within specific limits can significantly elevate its strength and overall structural integrity. In conclusion, the study advocates for the strategic integration of steel fibers in concrete mix designs to optimize strength characteristics. This approach holds promise for advancing the effectiveness and durability of concrete structures, contributing to the evolution of more resilient and sustainable construction practices on a global scale.

Keywords: Concrete, Steel fiber reinforcement, Mix design, Compressive strength, Flexural strength.
