Abstract: The fibre reinforced concrete can offer a suitable, practical and inexpensive method for overcoming micro-cracks and similar type of
deficiencies. Since concrete is weak in tension hence some actions must be adopted to overcome this shortage. Human hair is strong in worry; hence it
can be used as a fibre reinforcement material. Hair Fibre (HF) an alternate non-degradable matter is available in profusion and at a very cheap cost. It
also creates environmental problem for its decompositions. Present studies has been undertaken to study the effect of human hair on plain cement
concrete on the basis of its compressive strength and cracking control to economize concrete and to reduce environmental problems. Experiments were
conducted on concrete with various percentages of human hair fibre 0.25% by weight of concrete. For each combination of proportions of concrete are
tested for their mechanical properties.

Abstract: Slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete (SIFCON) is moderately a new type high performance fibre reinforced concrete in which formwork moulds
are filled to its capacity with fibres and the resulting fibre network is infiltrated by cement based slurry. Infiltration is naturally proficient by gravity
flow. SIFCON possesses both high strength as well as large ductility. Because of its high tensile strength, ductility, superior impact and abrasion
resistant, it has admirable potential doles in structural application like where it can be used either in the full structure. The aim of this present enquiry
is to learning a new type of material, termed SIFCON.
