Optimization of the Some Mechanical Properties of Concrete Pavements Produced with SIFCON

Abstract

Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SIFCON) is one of the recently developed composite material became a very popular material in civil engineering. The difference between high strength concrete (HSC) and SIFCON is the ductile behavior at failure. In this study, usage of SIFCON as a rigid pavement is investigated. The experiments were designed according to Taguchi method using orthogonal array technique in an L16 array with four factors with four levels each. The factors and their levels are 40, 55, 65, 80 fiber aspect ratio, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% fiber volume, 0,30, 0,35, 0,40, 0,45 water/cement ratio (w/c) ratios and 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% silica fume ratio. Analysis of variance technique (ANOVA) was used for analyzing the test results. According to the ANOVA, the fiber aspect ratio (L/d) plays a significant role in compressive and flexural strength. Moreover, the optimum conditions were found to be 55 fiber aspect ratio, 3%fiber content, 0.45 w/c ratio and 5% SF ratio for compressive strength and 80 fiber aspect ratio, 12%fiber content, 0.45 w/c ratio and 5% SF ratio for flexural strength. Maximum compressive and flexural strength of 145.72 and 31.58 MPa was obtained under the optimum conditions respectively.
