Abstract :

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) Is A Composite Material In Which Discrete Steel Fibers Are Uniformly Distributed Within The Concrete Matrix To Enhance Its Mechanical Performance. This Study Investigates The Mechanical Strength Characteristics Of SFRC With Emphasis On Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength, And Flexural Strength. Concrete Mixes Were Prepared With Varying Volume Fractions Of Steel Fibers While Maintaining A Constant Mix Design. Standard Specimens Were Cast And Cured, And Experimental Tests Were Conducted In Accordance With Relevant Codes Of Practice. The Results Indicate That The Inclusion Of Steel Fibers Significantly Improves Tensile And Flexural Strength Due To Effective Crack-bridging Action, Enhanced Ductility, And Improved Post-cracking Behavior. A Marginal Improvement In Compressive Strength Was Also Observed With Increasing Fiber Content. The Study Concludes That SFRC Exhibits Superior Mechanical Performance Compared To Conventional Concrete, Making It Suitable For Applications Requiring Improved Load-carrying Capacity, Crack Resistance, And Durability Such As Industrial Floors, Pavements, And Structural Elements.
