USE OF WASTE HUMAN HAIR AS FIBRE REINFORCEMENT IN CONCRETE
Reinforcement by fibres can offer a convenient, practical and economical method of overcoming many deficiencies. Hair fibre an alternative non degradable fibre is available in abundance which creates environmental problem similar to Fly Ash (FA). To see the effect of human hair fibre on compressive, crushing strength and cracking control to economise concrete, and reduction of environmental problems, the present study has been undertaken. Experiments were conducted on concrete prisms with varying percentage of Human Hair Fibre (HHF) i.e. 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% by weight of cement. Next, in the plain concrete, cement has been replaced with 10% fly ash by weight and same HHF percentage variations were used to make Hair Fibre Reinforced Fly Ash Concrete (HFRFAC). After wards, in HFRFAC 6% brick powder was added further to make Hair Fibre Reinforced Fly Ash Brick Powder Concrete (HFRFABC). Further, the HFRFAC was mixed 1.5% lime powder to make Hair Fibre Reinforced Fly Ash Lime Powder Concrete (HFRFALC). For each combination, three cubes were tested for their properties. The result shows that there is encouragable enhancement in its mechanical properties investigated with the addition of human hair fibres. Maximum strength has been obtained in the lime combination case with 2% HHF addition.
