A scientometric review of the literature on the incorporation of steel fibers in ultra-high-performance concrete with research mapping knowledge

Abstract In the construction industry, incorporation of steel fibers in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is vital for improving its mechanical characteristics. order to identify essential factors UHPC, literature on effect UHPC reviewed using scientometric methods this work. The review contains complex processes like knowledge mapping, co-occurrence, and co-citation. analyze bibliographic data impact study makes use contemporary methodologies processing, mining, analysis, presentation, visualization. aim provide direction further research area by summarizing literature. achieve goal, from Scopus database, including publication sources, top authors, keywords, significant publications, nations contributing most subject, are retrieved examined. According frequently used keyword “steel fibers,” “Construction Building Materials” popular source terms citations articles, China top-ranking nation industry. Academic scholars can gain study’s graphical quantitative portrayal researchers making it easier share concepts form collaborative initiatives. This also shows that improve properties but their widespread manufacturing dependent fiber content geometry.
