Abstract- In present paper, some mechanical properties of SIFCON specimens are studied and
they are compared with conventional mortar. The cement based slurry used in this work is a
composition of cement, fly ash, silica fume.
From the results achieved it was found that SIFCON specimens are much better than
conventional mortar. The compressive, splitting, flexural strength and impact resistance for
conventional mortar and SIFCON specimens were investigated and also plotted. Thus this study
shows that SIFCON can be used as an effective alternative in special construction purposes or
where the concrete or conventional steel fiber reinforce concrete cannot perform as
expected/required or in situations where such high strength is important.
