Özet
Today, the construction industry is constantly searching for new and innovative materials to realize increasingly complex projects [1, 2]. In particular, efforts to increase the flexural strength and ductility of concrete, a brittle material, have been intensifying. This research results in a building material with superior mechanical properties known as SIFCON (slurry-infiltrated fiber concrete). SIFCON combines cement, fine sand, water, and various fibers [3, 4]. The main differences between SIFCON and fibrous concrete (FRC) are the fiber content and production technology. The fiber ratio in fibrous concretes is usually limited to 2%. Studies have determined that more fiber than this ratio damages the strength and workability properties of FRC [5, 6]. Also, FRC may be insufficient in structures or structural elements requiring high strength and durability. SIFCON, which can have a fiber ratio from 3% to 20%, can offer a reasonable solution in such cases [7]. In FRC, the fibers are added to the concrete when fresh, and the mixing is done together. In SIFCON, the fibers are placed in the formwork directionally or randomly. A fluid mortar of cement, fine sand, and water is then infiltrated (poured) over the fibers. Thanks to this manufacturing technology, SIFCON can achieve high fiber ratios. SIFCON is a fibrous composite material. Therefore, the strength of SIFCON depends on the type, ratio, and geometry of the fiber used, as well as the properties of the mortar phase. In addition, the bond (adherence) between the fiber and mortar is another factor that significantly affects the strength of this composite; just like FRC, the fibers in SIFCON act as a bridging under load …
