Behavior of Concrete using Steel Fiber as a Tensile Material

Abstract

Concrete is widely used in all over the world. It gives a compression strength and when it is collaborate with the steel the tension strength is increased. Traditional reinforcement will takes time. So by using the steel fibers in the concrete it will gives the high strength and durability. The fiber will leads to compensate the weakness in the concrete. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is successfully used in the slabs, flooring, and even in beams. The formation has proved the high tensile strength when it added in the concrete. The Mix proportion followed in these is M20 and M30 mixes. By using steel fibers, concrete is cast at a rate of 0 per cent, 0.25 per cent, 0.50 per cent, 0.75 per cent and 1 per cent of the steel fibers applied. The important purpose is to provide high tensile strength and flexural strength.
