The objective of this study is to reduce the shinkage of the matrix and the burden on the environment during manufacturing of slurry infiltrated fiber concrete(SIFCON)while maintaining its mechanical properties. Experimental investigations were conducted to evaluate the fundamental mechanical properties of SIFCON using high-fluidity grout in which 50% of the unit weight of cement was replaced by ground granulated blast furnace slag and containing 40-80% of small particle size aggregate in mass ratio with respect to binder. As a result, mortar-mix SIFCON with good grout filling property and mechanical properties equivalent to paste-mix SIFCON was derived by selecting appropriate materials and mixture proportions for the SIFCON.
