Effect of Silica Fume and steel fibre on concrete, A review

  Suhail Rashid Dar,  Er Ankit Mahajan

Extensively used material in construction industry is concrete this is because of good workability and ability to be moulded to any shape. Ordinary cement concrete possesses very low tensile strength, limited ductility and less resistance to cracking. The concrete shows the brittle behaviour and fails to handle tensile loading hence leads to internal micro cracks which are mainly responsible for brittle failure of concrete. In the recent past, there has been considerable attempts for improving the properties of concrete with respect to strength and durability, especially in aggressive environments. High performance concrete appears to be better choice for a strong and durable structure.
