Development of Ultra High Strength SIFCON
Abstract Concrete is no longer a material consisting of cement, aggregates, water and admixtures but now it is an engineered material with several new constituents. However, the rapid deterioration due to many factors has made an earnest requirement for an improvement in the present day technology so as to create a durable and cost efficient strategy for new development, repair, retrofitting and as well as for restoration works. The high strength concrete was the solution and in order to meet the need, experimentalists have created High Performance Concrete or High Strength concrete and Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON). It has a wide range of applications, from carriageways to buildings, dams to bridges and even in anti-ballast walls. This paper shows the Development of Ultra High Strength SIFCON mix by using Alccofine, a type of micro-filler and optimizing its quantity by partial replacement of Cement. The results depicted that the crack pattern as shown by the achieved mix was not only good with the strength but also showed promise towards the flexibility of concrete. SIFCON possesses the characteristics of both high strength as well as ductility which are an important parameter for sustainable structures.
