This paper aims to study the behavior and load carrying capacities of a hybrid connected beam-column joint when loaded under static conditions. This research aimed to investigate and observe how slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) affected the results. One ratio is dependent now, 7% percent for each type of steel fiber, such as hook end steel fiber, micro steel fiber, and hook-micro fiber, to observe its effect in SIFCON. Experimental work includes evaluating a beam-column joint, one specimen of which employs regular concrete only, and the others cast with SIFCON in the crucial portion in addition to regular concrete. Ultimate load capacity compared with a control specimen showed that specimens with SIFCON were more efficient than those without SIFCON. As a result of employing a SIFCON, the increase ratio for enhancing ultimate loads raised to (37.5%, 18.75% and 26.25%) for samples using hook fiber, hook+ micro steel fiber, and micro steel fiber, whereas hook end steel fiber showed better flexural strength than micro steel fiber.

The study's aim is to clarify how different steel types impact the mechanical characteristics of SIFCON ("slurry infiltration fibre reinforced concrete"). Three sets of SIFCON specimens with a 7% fibre volume percentage were cast and examined. Micro steel fiber reinforcement is discussed in the first group, hook-end steel fiber reinforcement is discussed in the second group, and hybrid fiber reinforcement is discussed in the third group (3.5 per cent micro steel fibre and 3.5 per cent hook-end steel fibre). The research discovered that the geometry of fibres has "a significant influence on compressive strength", "splitting tensile strength", and the stress-strain curve because the network of fibres created and their density are dependent on the kind of fibres. Where the relevance of hook steel fibres much outweighs that of micro- end, actual findings show that mixing long and short fibres produces outstanding results as compared to standard concrete. When compared to conventional concrete, the strength of hook, hybrid (hook+micro), and micro steel fibre was enhanced by 134.21 percent, 123.68 percent, and 95.53 percent, respectively. The stress-strain curve data showed a similar trend. For 7 percent fibre content, the splitting tensile strength improved by 345.86 percent, 337.35 percent, and 276.122 percent for hook, hybrid (hook +micro), and micro steel fibre, respectively.
