Compression and tension behaviour of SIFCON produced with low tensile strength steel fibre

摘要

This paper presents the cube compressive and split tensile strengths of Slurry Infiltrated Fibre Concrete (SIFCON) produced with low tensile strength steel fibre. Forty-two cubes (150 × 150 × 150 mm) and twenty-one cylinders (150 x 300 mm) of SIFCON were cast and tested. Of these, three cubes and six cylinders served as control specimens. The results revealed that SIFCON specimens produced with low tensile strength steel fiber show better performance than control specimens under both compression and tension. The paper proposes regression models to estimate the compressive and tensile strength of SIFCON specimens.
