Toughness enhancement in steel fiber reinforced concrete

2007/9/1Fibers, used as reinforcement, can be effective in arresting cracks at both micro- and macro-levels. At the micro-level, fibers inhibit the initiation and growth of cracks, and after the micro-cracks coalesce into macro-cracks, fibers provide mechanisms that abate their unstable propagation, provide effective bridging, and impart sources of strength gain, toughness and ductility [1], [2] .
