Abstract

The acronym SIFCON stands for Slurry Infiltrated Fibre Concrete. SIFCON is a unique kind of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) which has large volume percentages of fibre. In SIFCON we can use fibre from 5 to 20 % of the volume of the cube in comparison with FRC; which contains fiber only from 2% to 5% by volume of the cube because of clustering and balling problem. The SIFCON can also be used in wear & tear cases since it consists of a high-performance ductile layer of high fibre concrete. Although it does not perform any load-bearing function since it is only used in very thin layers. In this research work we have used 6%, 12% and 18% of steel fibre by volume of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm cube to find out the strength and compare it with SIFCON which is produced due to partial replacement of cement with the powder of glass. Glass is a non-crystalline brittle and hard, somewhat transparent material produced by fusion, usually consisting of mutually dissolved silicate and silica that also contains lime and soda. The waste glass contains high silica due to which when this waste glass is ground to a very fine powder which reacts with alkalis in cement and forms a cementitious product which helps in the contribution of strength. In this work 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% Glass powder is replaced by weight of cement.
