•Steel fibres improved strength and ductility at both ambient and elevated temperature.•Hybridization can contribute to the increase of the ductility.•Hybrid FRC mixtures without steel fibres, faces great ductility loss after heating.•Energy absorption seems to suitably expresses the post-cracking b...
