Abstract: 
It is well known that there is a serious shortage of raw materials for construction and the production of building materials causes environmental pollution and must be stopped immediately. Therefore, waste materials such as silica fume, slag, various fibers, etc. can be used to replace some of the raw materials that are not easily available. The use of these waste materials will ultimately reduce the cost of construction while improving many strength properties. It is necessary to review some of the literature on the improvement of concrete properties by adding fiber steel and silica fume to examine the effect of incorporating silica fume alone and subsequently adding silica fume together with fibers to replace the weight of cement and improve the properties of the reference mix prepared using locally available materials.
