Abstract
The last five decades have seen a large research effort focused on fibre reinforced concrete. Most of the research studies have been devoted to the use of steel fibre and mechanical characteristics of fibre reinforced concrete. Only a limited number of research programmes dealt with properties (both geometrical and mechanical) and development of steel fibre. In this paper a new type of engineered steel fibre will be analysed in comparison to commercially available fibre. Properties of concretes reinforced by a small volume of fibre were of special interest. Conducted tests covered both fresh mix behaviour and strength characteristics of hardened concrete.
