abstract = {Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has emerged as an advanced construction material due to its improved mechanical performance, durability, and crack resistance compared to conventional concrete. This paper presents a comprehensive review of fiber-reinforced concrete, focusing on the types of fibers used, including steel, glass, synthetic, and natural fibers, and their effects on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The influence of fiber characteristics such as aspect ratio, volume fraction, and dispersion on workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance is critically discussed. Additionally, the role of fiber-reinforced concrete in enhancing durability parameters such as shrinkage control, fatigue behavior, and resistance to corrosion and chemical attack is examined. Recent applications of FRC in pavements, industrial floors, tunnel linings, precast elements, and seismic-resistant structures are also highlighted. The review further identifies current challenges, including issues related to fiber distribution, cost, and standardization, and outlines future research directions for sustainable and high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete.},
