Received: Slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) is a comparatively new unique form of
Accepted: steel fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). SIFCON possesses an extensive range of
desirable characteristics, including high strength and ductility. One of the most
Keywords: important types of concrete for the current environment is sustainable concrete. An
Sustainable concrete, Waste tire rubber, enormous volume of waste rubber tires is produced globally due to the expansion of
SIFCON, Compressive strength, Flexural the automobile industry. This study's primary objective is to determine how the partial
strength. replacement of fine aggregate with waste tire rubber at varying percentages (5%, 10%,
and 15%) affects the behavior of SIFCON's compressive strength, flexural strength,
and split tensile strength. It has the added benefit of preserving natural aggregates.
This study proposes a method for applying strong polarity groups to the surface of
rubber with the goal to generate a strong chemical interaction between rubbers and
cement matrix. It is an excellent strategy for enhancing the mechanical properties of
concrete. The results of the tests show that the SIFCON's mechanical properties
deteriorated as the ratio of sand substituted with powder rubber increased. Moreover,
it has been shown that the waste rubber offers large benefits in terms of unit weight
and cost.
