Abstract
Abstract: Concrete is a crucial material for creating various structures. The use of steel fiber reinforcement in concrete improves the ability of structural elements to withstand high stresses. SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete) is a relatively new composite material using steel fibers in a cement-based matrix.SIFCON column is an innovation in the field of civil engineering that enhances the constructability.This paper aims to the Non-linear static analysis of hollow and solid SIFCON hexagonal columns under axial loading. For this study, three finite element models of Hexagonal SIFCON column with Hooked end steel fibers were analyzed using Ansys 2016 R1. Different hollow ratios is evaluated under axial loading to understand the total deformation and equivalent stress.The Study shows that hexagonal solid column shows maximum load carrying capacity than hexagonal hollow columns.
