COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SIFCON WITH FERROCEMENT

SIFCON (slurry infiltrated fiber reinforced concrete) is one of the recently developed construction materials. It is a special type of fiber-reinforced concrete with high fibre content. It is a unique construction material possessing high strength as well as large ductility and it contains the excellent potential for structural applications when accidental or abnormal loads are encountered. “Ferro cement is a type of thin-wall reinforced concrete commonly constructed of hydraulic cement mortar reinforced with closely spaced layers of continuous and relatively small size wire mesh. The mesh may be made of metallic or other suitable materials”
