The benefits of using steel fibres in concrete are as follows: 1. Steel Fibres are generally distributed throughout a given cross section whereas reinforcing bars or wires are placed only where required 2. Steel fibres are relatively short and closely spaced as compared with countinuous reinforcing bars of wires.

Upon wetting, concrete tends to expand. This type of shrinkage is caused by the loss of moisture from the cement paste constituent, which can shrink by as much as 1% per unit length. Unfortunately, aggregate provides internal restraint that reduces the magnitude of this volume change to about 0.05%.

What is Prestressed Concrete? Concrete can withstand a great amount of compressive stress but it has a very low tensile strength. Because of low tensile strength, concrete gets cracks when subjected to maximum load. Why prestressed concrete is used? When water comes in contact with these cracks the steel gets corroded.

The stress strain curve of concrete lies between those of the aggregate and the cement paste. The aggregate is more rigid than the cement paste and will therefore deform less (i.e. have a lower strain) under the same applied stress. However this relationship is non-linear over the most of the range.
