Abstract

This paper investigates the ductility of beams with slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) blocks. Three SIFCON blocks with confinement in the form of stirrups and additional perforation were tested in a beam where a SIFCON block was placed into the plastic hinge zone of the beam as a compression yielding material. Results of the tests indicated that SIFCON blocks with confinement in the form of stirrups and additional perforation can produce sufficient ductility for compression yielding system.
