To achieve the above requirement, the conventional concrete requires large thickness and heavy reinforcement, which will lead to increased weight and other problems related to handling and erection. This has been overcome by use of SIFCON material and the study has been successfully demonstrated at laboratory level.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp style=\u0022text-align:justify;\u0022\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESlurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) structural elements possess better properties as compared to their counterparts built using conventional reinforced concrete. The main focus of the study is to throw more light on the design and construction aspects of underground reinforced hardened shelters, using SIFCON. Construction of underground hardened shelter requires prefabrication of various structural components at factory for better quality control. For transporting these structural components to the required site, weight of each element is a major concern. \u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul class=\u0022ul-list ul_li_icons cong_icon\u0022 style=\u0022text-align:justify;\u0022\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EUse of SIFCON resulted in complete elimination of reinforcement \u003Ci\u003E\u00a0\u003C\/i\u003Eand also in significant reduction in the thickness of the shell.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ESpecial test instrumentation and loading arrangements have been designed and used for testing circular and hairpin geometry.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EThe innovative idea of using SIFCON has resulted in better performance against blast loading and increased ductile behaviour.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EEven though initial costs may be higher for SIFCON, owing to its better structural performance, reduced handling and erection cost, its cost\/benefit ratio is higher.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ECircular SIFCON specimens showed higher post peak response when compared to hairpin SIFCON specimens hence was recommended.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EThe under ground shelters designed using the proposed SIFCON technology are better suitable for housing control \u0026amp; command facilities near airports and for other strategic defense institutions.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022row_section tog_img_2 tog_img_row clearfix\u0022\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022tog_img_col\u0022\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022line_hover\u0022\u003E\u003Ca data-fancybox=\u0022res_demo\u0022 href=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/amlrnd10b.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/amlrnd10b.jpg\u0022 title=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022tog_img_col\u0022\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022line_hover\u0022\u003E\u003Ca data-fancybox=\u0022res_demo\u0022 href=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/amlrnd10b.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/amlrnd10b.jpg\u0022 title=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022link-wrapper\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Cul class=\u0022links inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u0022node-readless first\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/hi\/more\/node\/1929\/teaser\u0022 class=\u0022use-ajax\u0022\u003ERead less\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli class=\u0022translation_en\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/design-sifcon-alternative-material-use-underground-reinforced-hardened-shelters\u0022 title=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 class=\u0022translation-link\u0022 xml:lang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEnglish\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli class=\u0022translation_ta last\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/ta\/design-sifcon-alternative-material-use-underground-reinforced-hardened-shelters\u0022 title=\u0022Design of Sifcon \/ Alternative Material for use in Underground Reinforced Hardened Shelters\u0022 class=\u0022translation-link\u0022 xml:lang=\u0022ta\u0022\u003E\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \n  \n\u003C\/div\u003E","settings":null},{"command":"invoke","selector":"#node-1929","method":"addClass","arguments":["more-load node-teaser"]},{"command":"readmore_ajax","speed":"350"}]
