TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the addition of steel and polypropylene fibers on the mechanical and some durability properties of high-strength concrete (HSC) was investigated, and the results showed that the incorporation of 1% steel fiber significantly enhanced the splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive review of the mechanism of crack formation and propagation, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, stress-strain behavior, tensile strength (TS), flexural strength, drying shrinkage, creep, electrical resistance, and chloride migration resistance of high performance fiber reinforced concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact resistance and mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete with water-cement ratios of 0.46 and 0.36, with and without the addition of silica fume.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact resistance and strength performance of concrete mixtures with polypropylene and silica fume is examined and it is shown that using 0.5% polypropane fiber in the silica mixture increases compressive split tensile, and flexural strength, and especially the performance of concretes under impact loading.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study on the properties of sustainable high performance steel fiber-reinforced concretes that were manufactured with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) is presented.
