The use of HSC has steadily increased over the past years, which leads to the design of smaller sections. This in turn reduces the dead weight, allowing longer spans and more usable area of buildings. Reduction in mass is also important for economical design of earthquake resistant structures HSC is a brittle material. The increase in concrete strength reduces its ductility, and this is a serious drawback for the use of HSC. A compromise between these two characteristics of concrete (strength and ductility) can be obtained by adding steel fibers. In addition to this , due to the high...
