Abstract |
|
Slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete (SIFCON) is one of the starting late made movement material that can be considered as a kind of high performance fiber reinforced concrete with higher fiber content. The present investigation emphasizes on the impact of varying volume percentages and aspect ratio (L/D) of steel fiber in SIFCON specimen. Experiment was conducted on SIFCON mixtures containing different fiber percentages (7%, 8%, 9% and 10%) and different aspect ratio (50 and 60). Strength tests such as compression and split tensile strength were conducted to examine optimum fibre content and aspect ratio of SIFCON. From the test results it is observed that higher the fibre content, the better the results that are achieved in accordance with various strengths: compressive and split tensile strength. |
