Review Paper Properties of Fibers and Mortar of Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFCON)

Slurry Infiltrated Fiber CONcrete (SIFCON) is a particular type of fiber-reinforced concrete with a high fiber content that shows high strength, with a significant improvement in properties such as durability, ductility, and toughness, which has greater energy absorption capacity along with good mechanical properties. In the last decade, much research has been conducted on SIFCON, mainly focused on changing the ratio, shape, or type of fibers to improve some mechanical properties and replacing some components of mortar of SIFCON to enhance its durability. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the research results in improving the properties of SIFCON by using different types and quantities of fibers, as well as knowing the extent to which this type of concrete is affected by using alternative materials for mortar components. The review provides essential information about SIFCON that researchers in this field may encounter.
