Abstract—This paper describes a review of the potential use of High Strength Incorporating Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete used in construction industry to improve the structural strength and reduce steel reinforcements requirements. Blast furnace slag (GGBS) has been used as a supplementary material along with the cement. It helps in increasing the durability and strength of the concrete. The experimental work done was reviewed which mainly deals with Mechanical and durability properties of high strength concrete reinforced with metallic (steel) fibres based upon normal curing.

Index Terms—ground granulated blast furnace slag, steel fiber, durability, high strength
