Abstrakt: The application of Steel Fibre Reinforced Self-compacting Concrete (SFRSC) in the construction of structural elements is seen as an alternative solution to the complication in placing the reinforcement and compaction of normally vibrated concrete. The main advantage of SFRSC is the ability to be properly poured in place, filling the formwork corners and small voids between reinforcement bars by means of its own weight. Many research had been done in exploring the structural performance of SFRSC due to the enhanced engineering and mechanical properties. The incorporation of steel fibres in the mix has been found to enhance the hardened properties of self-compacting concrete in terms of its tensile strength, ductility, toughness, energy absorption capacity and as well as fracture toughness. The objective of this paper is to review the work done by previous researchers on the performance of SFRSC in slab structures. The knowledge could be used as a guide in expanding the application of SFRSC as the main material in the construction of slab elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
