An Experimental Study of Introducing the Human Hair as a Fibre Material in Concrete

Abstract

In concrete, "human hair" is a general name for the reinforcing and binder that gives the material its dispersed tensile strength. This test is carried out to ascertain the material's compressive and tensile strengths because concrete has a low tensile strength. To obtain the desired yield and workability in the concrete construction in this investigation, various ratios of human hair were replaced. A fiber-based concrete called fibre cement (FRC), which is becoming more and more popular as a building material, is made of evenly and randomly dispersed small, unique strands. Because of the health dangers, using asbestos to reinforce concrete has lately been discontinued. Asbestos is reinforced by modern elements including steel, glass, human hair, and synthetic fibres. To strengthen the strength and endurance of the material, a study is therefore conducted in which cement is substituted with human hair. Also, it has been shown that strength increases up to a given or predetermined limit before a small shift is noticed.
