The paper presents an analysis of cross - sections of beams made of Steel Fiber Reinforced High Performance Self - Compacting Concrete (SFRHPSCC). The analysis was performed by two methods, using our own computer program (destructive method), and computed tomography (non - destructive method). Statistical analysis showed that the orientation of the fibers exhibit exponential distribution. The tests confirmed the correct formation of concrete, maintaining the uniformity of steel fibre distribution.
