Short summary
Fibers like steel or glass, with a higher modulus of elasticity than concrete, can enhance concrete's bending strength and resistance to dynamic loads by increasing the stress at cracks.

Key points
- Fiber content is determined by bending strength and dynamic load requirements.
- Fiber properties, concrete consistency, and mixing techniques influence fiber content.
- Fibers with a higher modulus of elasticity than concrete (e.g., steel, glass) improve crack resistance.
- These high-modulus fibers increase the workload on cracks, enhancing concrete performance.

Abstract
The necessary fiber content in the first place is determined by the requirements of bending strength and resistance to dynamic loads. The fiber content depends on the composition and consistency of concrete, fiber properties and mixing techniques. The most widespread types of fibers, their advantages and disadvantages, possible areas of their application are considered. Fibers whose modulus of elasticity is greater than the modulus of elasticity of a concrete matrix, such as steel fibers or glass fibers, increase the workload on the cracks.
