This paper aims to adapt Multilinear regression (MLR) to predict the strength and toughness of SIFCON containing various pozzolanic materials. Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) is one of the most common terms used in concrete manufacturing, known for its benefits such as high ductility, toughness and high ultimate strength. Assessment of compressive strength (CS.), flexural strength (F.S.), splitting tensile strength (STS), dynamic elasticity modulus (DME) and impact energy (I.E.) using the experimental approach is too costly. It is time-consuming, and a slight error can lead to a repeat of the test and, to solve this, alternative methods are used to predict the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON. In the present study, the experimentally investigated SIFCON data about various mix proportions are used to predict the strength and toughness properties using regression analysis-multilinear regression (MLR) models. The input parameters used in regression models are cement, fibre, fly ash, Metakaolin, fine aggregate, blast furnace slag, bottom ash, water-cement ratio, and the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON at 28 days is the output parameter. The models are developed and validated using data obtained from the experimental investigation. The investigations were done on 36 SIFCON mixes, and specimens were cast and tested after 28 days of curing. The MLR model yields correlation between predicted and actual values of the compressive strength (C.S.), flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and impact energy. R-squared values for the relationship between observed and predicted compressive strength are 0.9548, flexural strength 0.9058, split tensile strength 0.9047, dynamic modulus of elasticity 0.8611 for impact energy 0.8366. This examination shows that the MLR model can predict the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON.

본 연구에서는 인공경량골재의 주요 물성인 밀도 및 흡수율의 성능 향상을 위하여 융제 종류 및 첨가율에 따른 밀도 및 흡수율 특성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 화학제품의 융제 사용에 관한 특성으로, $Na_2CO_3$ 및 $CaSO_4$는 경우 낮은 소성온도에서 소성이 가능하나, 흡수율이 증가하였고, $CaCO_3$, NaOH, $Fe_2O_3$는 첨가율이 증가할수록 흡수율은 낮아졌으나, 절건밀도가 높아지는 것으로 나타나 융제로서 부적합하였다. $Na_2SO_4$의 사용한 경우에는 절건밀도 $1.35{\sim}1.50g/cm^3$와 상대적으로 낮은 흡수율로 융제로서 가장 적합하였다. 산업부산물의 융제 사용에 관한 특성으로 유리연마 슬러지는 절건밀도 $1.45{\sim}1.55g/cm^3$ 및 흡수율 9~12 %로 흡수율이 높게 나타났다. 고로슬래그 미분말은 첨가율이 증가할수록 밀도는 높아지고 흡수율은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 산화슬래그는 첨가율 10 %에서 절건밀도 $1.46g/cm^3$, 흡수율 8,5 %로 낮은 절건밀도와 흡수율을 갖는 양질의 인공경량골재를 제조할 수 있었다.
