Abstract

SIFCON is a relatively new material and can be considered as special type of fiber reinforced concrete. A SIFCON is a new method to increase the strength of concrete. It is incorporated by using some amount of steel fiber in mould to form very dense network of fiber. A network is then infiltrated with cement based slurry or mortar. In this study, the flexural properties of sifcon members are evaluated and they are compared with conventional concrete of grade M30. This paper deals with the study of sifcon placed at various depth levels such as 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, in a reinforced concrete beam. The beams were tested for static and cyclic loading. The deflections and strain readings are recorded.
