Abstract

Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) is a special type of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) which have large amount of fiber. FRC contain fiber only 2% to 5% by volume of cube because of balling and clustering problem but in SIFCON we can use fiber from 5 to 20 % of volume of cube. In this research work we are going to use 6%, 12% and 18% of steel fiber by volume of 150mm× 150mm × 150mm cube to find out the maximum strength and compare it with the strength of normal concrete by using the grade of M30 at the days of 7days, 14days &28 days. For this purpose 27 cube of SIFCON and nine controlled cube of M30 grade were casted. This research therefore is an investigation of the performance of the concrete made of 6%, 12% & 18% of steel fiber.
