The study deals with the effect of using Slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) with the reinforced concrete beams to explore its enhancement to the flexural capacity. The experimental work consists of the casting of six beams, two beams were fully cast by conventional concrete (CC) and SIFCON, as references. While the remaining was made by contributing a layer of SIFCON diverse in-depth and position, towards complete the overall depths of the built-up beam with conventional concrete CC. Also, an investigation was done through the control specimens testing about the mechanical properties of SIFCON. The results showed a stiffer behavior with a significant increase in load-carrying capacity when SIFCON used in tension zones. Otherwise high ductility and energy dissipation appeared when SIFCON placed in compression zones with a slight increment in ultimate load. The high volumetric ratio of steel fibers enabled SIFCON to magnificent tensile properties.

This paper presents a new reinforced concrete (RC) composite slab system by applying an extruded Ductile Fiber Reinforced Cement Composite (DFRCC) panel. In the proposed composite slab system, the DFRCC panel, which has ribs to allow for complete composite action, is manufactured by extrusion process; then, the longitudinal and transverse reinforcements, both at the bottom and the top, are placed, and finally the topping concrete is placed. In order to investigate the flexural behavior of the proposed composite slab system, a series of bending tests was performed. From the test results, it was found that the extruded DFRCC panel has good deformation-hardening behavior under flexural loading conditions and that the developed composite slab system, applied with an extruded DFRCC panel, exhibits higher flexural performance compared to conventional RC slab system in terms of the stiffness, load-bearing capacity, ductility, and cracking control.
