The incorporation of artificial or natural fibers into the concrete matrix can be referred to as Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) has obtained rising attention recently because of its excellent mechanical properties in comparison with normal concrete. Fibers are generally utilized to overcome the plastic and drying shrinkage cracks and to enhance the ductility characteristics and strength properties as well. The FRC can be categorized into metallic, mineral fibers and organic fibers. Therefore, the article reviews the different types of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and their effect on concrete strength.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
