Abstract
The limitations of plain conventional concrete on the strength and durability aspects are effectively addressed by incorporating steel fibers into concrete. Many studies proved that there is a drastic improvement in various engineering properties, especially the impact and abrasion resistance. The estimation of impact and toughness is carried out through the areas under stress–strain curves; moreover, it is a time-consuming process. In this investigation, enhancement of toughness property because of the influence of steel fibers in the range of 1–4% is arrived through a simplified approach based on the past researches outcomes and through the experimental study of impact test results. The toughness property drastically improved around 1.81% of the plain concrete in the addition to 2% of volume fraction of steel fibers.
