Invelstigation of the usability of different rock types as powder on SIFCON concrete

In this study, usability of different rock types as powder and sand on SIFCON concrete slurry were investigated. In addition, the effect of using two fiber ends in SIFCON on the mechanical and physical properties of SIFCON were investigated. Basalt that we procured from the quarry, crushed rock sand, rock dust materials were used on concrete. The abundant and high quality basalt, rock sand, rock dust in our country were brought to powder size by crushing in the laboratory. The physical properties of the powders produced from different rock types were determined and used for slurry preparation instead of quartz powder and sand. Producing SİFCON in a program, preparing samples of SİFCON produced for experimental study and determining properties of SİFCON as a result of the study. Pressure, bending strength and fracture toughness, ultra sound transition rate, schmidt test tensile tests were applied on the samples of SİFCON produced with this slurry. In addition to that, the benefits of using the slurry in terms of unit cost will be examined. In the order of experimental work, procuring of materials, determination of properties, different combinations of different materials for SİFCON, First, quartz powder is removed and replaced with powdered basalt, Stone dust, Stone sand, then quartz sand is removed, and basalt, Stone dust, Stone sand is placed in the place, Finally, quartz sands and quartz powder are removed Instead of all, basalt, Stone dust, Stone sand are supplied. As a result, considering the pressure resistance of the unit costs, the most appropriate cost can be used as the reference sample, it was later found to be a basalt sample. It is determined that the sample with the best strength and the lowest unit cost is Stone sand sample.
