TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review on the behaviour of fiber-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identify the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction.
Abstract: Concrete is subjected to sudden impact loads in water-controlled structures like dams, tunnels; airport terminal asphalts; structures used for military and industrial purposes. When subjected to extreme load conditions and aggressive environments, plain concrete which is already brittle in nature fails suddenly. Fibre-reinforced concrete is a rapidly developing construction technique which can be used for almost all structural systems. Fibres enhance the ductility of concrete structure by improving their mechanical properties. This paper presents a review on the behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identifies the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction is one of the challenging aspects in these industries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of using steel fiber and silica fume on the properties of concrete and found that the use of steel fiber increased both the mechanical strength and the modulus of the elasticity of concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the isolated contribution of silica fume on the tensile strengths of high performance concrete (HPC) is investigated. But the results indicate that the optimum replacement percentage is not a constant one but depends on the water-cementitious material (w/cm) ratio of the mix.
