Abstract
The use of admixtures is increasing very rapidly because concrete admixtures provide physical as well as economic benefits. These admixtures materials ranged from blood in history to recent fiber reinforcement. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using salt water cored and oven dried sheep wool as fiber reinforced admixture was studied and verified the strength of concrete compared to ordinary Portland cements strength of different grade of concrete using sheep wool as fiber reinforcement admixtures. Using sheep wool as fiber reinforcement as concrete admixture gave good percentage of increment in both compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete, but as the grade of cement increases the percentage of increment in strength gradually reduces.
Highlights
The sheep is a quadropedal, ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock
Sheep wool can’t be kept smooth while dipping in salt water is a best property which means that the surface tension of hair increases by dipping sheep wool in salt water, gives greater bond strength as author used the wool as fiber reinforced admixture
Dipping wool in acetone solution which removes impurities, but the present study author says, use of acetone for washing wool induces smoothening of dermis coat present on surface of wool, which results in lowering of bonding strength of admixtures
Summary
The sheep is a quadropedal, ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are the most numerous species of sheep.

Wool has several qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it is crimped and elastic [1].
