This is well known fact that Concrete is dominantly used in construction almost in all type of structures but still there are many defective characteristics due to which the use of this material suffer. Moen joDaro is the oldest historical place in the history of Civil Engineering which contributes the skill and knowledge of Engineers. Still, Engineers are finding new creations by research in the field of Civil Engineering. The use of Steel fibers to reinforce and improve the properties of construction materials (cement or concrete) goes back at least 3500 years, when straw was used to reinforce sun-baked bricks in Mesopotamia. Cement-bound products have been reinforced by various types of (Natural and artificial) fibers at least since the beginning of the last century and steel fibers and synthetic fibers have been used to improve the properties of concrete mix for the past 35 or 45 years. Fibers also improve the properties of many natural as well as engineered materials. Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates and water. Concrete plays an important role in the development of infrastructure Viz., industrial structures, bridges, highways and buildings. Leading to utilization of large quantity of concrete. West Tyre Steel Fiber addition in to concrete significantly improved the abrasion resistance of concrete. Abrasion resistance was found to increase with the increase of volume steel fiber. Although addition of west tyre steel fibers to concrete mix did not significantly improve its ultimate compressive strength, the addition of WTSF and increasing the volume fractions of steel fiber increased flexural tensile strength. Concrete is good in compressive strength but today west tyres steel fibre reinforced concrete is perhaps one of the most realistic possibilities to..................
