An Experimental Study of Human Hair in Concrete as Fiber Reinforcement

Author(s) MD TAHIR RAHMAN
Country India
Abstract Since the ancient times, many researches and advancements were carried to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is one among those advancements which offers a convenient, practical and economical method for overcoming micro cracks and similar type of deficiencies. Since concrete is weak in tension hence some measures must be adopted to overcome this deficiency. Human hair is generally strong in tension; hence it can be used as a fiber reinforcement material. Human hair fiber is an alternative non degradable matter available in abundance and at cheap cost, it is also reducing environmental problems. Also, addition of human hair fibers enhances the alternative non-degradable matter available in abundance and at cheap cost. It also reduces environment problems. Also, addition of human hair fibers enhances the binding properties, micro cracking control, imparts ductility and also increases swelling resistance. The experimental finding in our studies would encourages future research in the direction for long term performance to extending this cost of effective type of fibers for use in structural applications. Experiments were conducted o concrete cubes, cylinder and beams of standard sizes with addition of various percentages of human hair fiber i.e., 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% by weight of cement, fine & coarse aggregate and results were compared with those of plain cement cubes, three cylinders and three beams were tested for their respective mechanical properties at curing periods of 3,7, and 28 days, Optimum hair fiber content was obtained as 1.5% by weight of cement
