%X Ductile self compacting concrete (DSCC) also known as ultra-high- performance fiber reinforced concrete with a steel like compressive strength of up to 250 MPa and remarkable increase in durability compared to high-strength concrete can be considered as the most successful recent innovation in concrete construction. The achievement of DSCC has been made possible by the introduction of materials such as superplasticizers, microsilica and steel fibers. Incorporation of steel fibers in the mix made it feasible to design sustainable filigree, lightweight concrete constructions without any additional steel reinforcement. The purpose of this paper is to review the needs of DSCC and the factors influencing the workability of DSCC as well as the effect of the inclusion of steel fibers. Various studies concluded that the inclusion of steel fibers will increase the mechanical and durability properties but reduce the workability.
