Slurry Infiltrated Fibre Concrete - that’s what SIFCON means. Not just another mix, this type of fibre concrete holds way more fibres than usual. From five up to twenty percent of the space inside a block can be fibre, unlike regular FRC. Regular versions top out around two to five percent due to clumping issues. More strands packed in mean less empty gaps when built. Durability jumps sharply because of how tightly woven the interior becomes. Wear-heavy spots handle stress better thanks to its tough makeup. High fibre levels create a stretchable yet firm structure underneath. Performance under constant rubbing or impact improves noticeably. Thick layers resist breakdown far longer than standard types do. Even though it carries no structural load because applied in minimal thickness. This study tested steel fiber at 6%, 12%, and 18% by volume using concrete cubes measuring 150 mm on each side, aiming to measure strength while comparing results against SIFCON made by swapping part of the cement with finely crushed glass. What sets glass apart is its amorphous nature - brittle, rigid, often see-through - crafted through melting raw components where silicates and silica blend together along with soda and lime. Since discarded glass holds abundant silica, reducing it into ultrafine dust allows it to interact with alkaline compounds found in cement, forming a binding substance that adds to overall durability. For this experiment, portions of cement were substituted with glass powder at levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%.
