Abstract
The evolution of high-performance hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HPHFRC) has garnered significant interest due to its enhanced mechanical properties and durability characteristics compared to conventional concrete. This review explores recent advancements in the development and assessment of HPHFRC, focusing on its composition, performance, and application. Hybrid fiber reinforcement, combining different types of fibers such as steel, polypropylene, and glass, offers a synergistic effect that improves the concrete’s strength, toughness, and crack resistance. The review examines various studies that highlight the impact of fiber types, proportions, and distribution on the concrete's mechanical properties, including compressive strength, tensile strength, and impact resistance. Additionally, it addresses the effects of hybrid fibers on durability aspects, such as resistance to shrinkage, permeability, and abrasion. The review further discusses the practical applications of HPHFRC in structural and non-structural elements, showcasing its potential benefits in improving the lifespan and performance of concrete structures. The findings provide insights into optimal fiber combinations and dosages, guiding future research and practical implementations in the field of high-performance concrete.
