Design and Construction Techniques for SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete)
Abstract
This report documents the first part of a three-part program to develop information and techniques necessary to consider SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete) as a conventional building material. The report presents a discussion of preliminary design methods for flexure members followed by a summary of techniques for fabricating conventional-sized SIFCON structures. A section is included on the determination of material and fabrication costs for SIFCON. The report concludes with recommendations on how to use the information for implementing the second phase of the developmental program. Design Costs, Construction, Fiber concrete.
