Concrete fibers  are the composite materials used in structures to increase the concrete integrity and reduce cracks. It is a fusion of cement, mortar uniformly dispersed suitable fibers. This new structural material is gaining high importance these days as the advancement in concrete technology supports the addition of discrete fibers in the concrete as it improves its properties and increases the life of constructed structure. These randomly oriented fibers in the concrete seize the cracks in the structure, thereby increasing ductility and strength of the concrete structure. However, fibers in concrete have limited effect on the impact resistance of concrete materials. Moreover, impact resistance of micro fibers is better as compared to long fibers. The major mechanical properties of concrete fibers include compressive strength, elasticity, flexibility, toughness, impact resistance, fatigue free, and high tensile strength. Concrete fibers are used in wide range of structures incl...
