In this paper, the mix proportion design of Steel Fiber Ceramsite Concrete is carried out by combining the total calculation method with the absolute volume method. The mechanical properties of SFRLAC with steel fiber vo- lume fraction (Vf) 0% - 2% and matrix strength of LC30, LC40 and LC50 were tested. The relationship between the volume fraction of steel fiber and the increase of compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength was analyzed. The test results show that, with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction, the compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength of SFRLAC are improved to varying degrees, but the flexural strength and splitting tensile strength increase greatly.
