Review of the compressive strength of concrete incorporating varieties of fiber additions

The constant interest in achieving a concrete with better characteristics has led researchers to study the use of fibers. The objective of this work is to carry out a state of arts review on the resistance of concretes incorporated with different types of fibers, in order to provide a synthesis of the results and discuss the possibility of reaching specific design resistance that different projects may require in engineering. A review of fifty articles indexed between the years 2011 and 2020 was made, distributed as follows: 18 articles were from Scopus, 13 from ScienceDirect and 17 from Scielo; observing the effects of the reinforcement of different types of fibers and how they influence the compressive strength. The review of the results showed that the fibers have the potential to improve the compressive strength of concrete and that it will depend on the type of fiber, its content and the resistance to which it is being designed.
