One of the most frequently used construction materials worldwide is concrete. Concrete requires some type of tensile reinforcement to counteract its brittle behaviour, increase its tensile strength, and increase its strain capacity in order to be used in structural applications. This weakness in tension has been known about since the early 1800s. Steel has traditionally been the preferred material for tensile reinforcement in concrete. Fibers are thin, short, and dispersed randomly throughout the concrete member, in contrast to conventional reinforcing bars, which are specifically created and positioned in the tensile zone of the concrete member. Steel, plastic, glass, and other natural materials are used to manufacture the fibres that are commercially available. Steel fibres are discrete, short lengths of steel with a length-to-diameter ratio (i.e., aspect ratio) between 20 and 100 and any number of different cross-sections. They are sufficiently small to be easily and randomly dispersed in fresh concrete mix using conventional mixing techniques. Compared to conventional rebars, the closely spaced fibres improve the toughness and tensile properties of concrete and help to control cracking, but the random distribution reduces efficiency. It is wise to combine fibre reinforcement with traditional steel reinforcement in many circumstances to boost performance. Since the last three decades, more research and development on fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has been started as a result of the products' improved properties. An overview of the mechanical characteristics, benefits, and uses of steel fibre reinforced concrete is provided in this paper.
