Concrete is widely used in the engineering field, particularly in construction. Despite its widespread use in the construction industry, concrete is brittle and has a number of drawbacks, including low tension and crack resistance. As a result, many researchers discovered a way to enhance concrete ductility through adding micro steel fibers (MSF) as a reinforcement. This study explores the impact of MSF on slump height, and the toughness of various concrete. To obtain relevant paper for this research, a systematic literature review was used. When 0.5% to 2% MSF were present in the concrete composite, the result shows a positive increment on its strengths. Meanwhile, the toughness impact of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is reduced depending on what type of water used during the mixing process. Aside from that, adding 0.5% to 2% MSF increases the tensile strength of SCC and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Ultimately, incorporating MSF with concrete to increase the durability is a great idea.
