Abstract
Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFCON) is a special kind of fiber-reinforced concrete that has significant durability and ductility, and it has a higher tensile strength compared to other fiber-reinforced concrete. SIFCON contains a lot of fiber, up to 20% or even more. This study focuses on discovering the effect of two types of fibers, steel and polypropylene, on the bending of SIFCON. A certain number of SIFCON laminates specimens were cast with dimensions of 300×100 mm, with different thicknesses ranging between 10, 20, and 30 mm. Cubes and prisms were also cast to determine the compressive and flexural resistance of the SIFCON concrete for each type of fiber used. After checking all the results, the highest compressive and flexural strength were achieved for SIFCON with steel fiber by 118 and 32.6 MPa respectively, as well as the maximum stress for SIFCON laminates with steel fiber and 30 mm thickness by 16.73 MPa.
