    -Introduction

    The use of fibers in concrete started about 50 years ago and their use in various fields has increased day by day. Adding fibers to the mixing design improves the mechanical properties of concrete and the behavior of the structure after cracking. It also increases the softness and malleability of the section. In general, fiber-reinforced concrete can be expected to improve parameters related to compressive, tensile, bending, shear, dynamic, impact, waterlogging and creep, resistance to freezing and thawing, wear, cavitation, and erosion.

    Today, fiber concrete is used for many applications such as road paving, bridge walkways, industrial floors, vibration machine foundations, Dam overflows, relaxation ponds, concrete sewer pipes, tunnel linings, etc. It is used [1].

    1-1 Fiber concrete and hydraulic structures

    Fiber concrete has been used in many cases in the series of dams and relaxation ponds. Compared to those made with plain concrete, such structures show significant resistance to cavitation, wear and erosion. The results of tests and field applications show that concrete reinforced with steel fibers has 3 times the life of plain concrete under high-speed water flow [1]. This basic weakness of concrete can be overcome by installing steel reinforcement and forming reinforced concrete and providing the required tensile force. It should be noted that in many cases, the direction of the tensile force is not precisely known, and due to the small cross-sectional area of ??the reinforcement compared to concrete, the idea of ??creating a homogeneous and isotropic cross-section is not correct [2]. In order to create homogeneous conditions and reduce the weakness of concrete against its elasticity and fragility as much as possible, the use of thin and relatively long fibers that are randomly distributed in the concrete mixing plan (SFRC) [1], has become common in the past few decades [3]. The presence of fibers in concrete can solve the weakness of concrete in tension to some extent and prevent the spread of cracks by integrating concrete and creating tensile properties.
