This review paper delves into the study of utilizing various shapes of steel fibers to augment the flexural capacity of high-strength concrete beams, in addition to enhancing compressive and tensile strength. The flexural tensile strength, also known as the modulus of rupture (MOR), holds significant importance in assessing deflection, determining minimum flexural reinforcement, and predicting the onset of visible cracks in concrete structures subjected to bending. Conventionally, it's widely accepted that the theoretical compressive strength is approximately ten times the tensile strength, suggesting a fixed relationship between these two parameters. However, as the compressive strength increases to higher levels, the ratio of tensile to compressive strengths tends to decrease. Over the past few decades, research on high-strength concrete (HSC) has primarily focused on addressing issues like premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, flexural strength, tensile strength, and fatigue strength, caused by severe environmental conditions and mechanical loading. This has emerged as a significant concern in both conventional and high-strength concrete structures. The incorporation of steel fibers in HSC has been extensively explored to enhance flexural strength and other mechanical properties. Recent studies have demonstrated that steel fibers substantially mitigate the brittleness of concrete while improving its engineering properties, including tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, load-bearing capacity after cracking, and toughness.
