The performance of closed loop steel fiber concrete

This paper discusses the performance of the steel fiber concrete. When the straight fibers are introduced to the concrete mix, the direction of the steel fibers can be affected by the mould, balling together and random orientation. As the result smaller percentage of the steel fibers are being appli...

Civil engineering (General) This paper discusses the performance of the steel fiber concrete.
