Flow Characteristics of Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) with Silica Fume and Steel Fibers

Abstract

SIFCON is one of the newly established buildings substantial. The proportion of silica fume additional was 17.5% through mass of cement in slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete & four various bulk segments of plain mild steel fibres, crimped mild steel fibres and hooked ended mild steel fibers (0, 5, 15, 25 and 35) % were utilized. The examined belongings of fresh slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete were normal slump cone test, reversed slump cone test, mini slump cone trial, J- fibres penetration test and L-box test test which were agreed out on usual magnitude of slump cones, J-box and L-box respectively at fresh state of SIFCON slurry (mortar). The spread flow diameter for standard slump cone, inverted slump cone and mini slump cone values up to 670mm, 650mm and 175mm respectively were obtained at fresh state of SIFCON slurry (mortar).
