ABSTRACT

As Concrete play an essential role in manufacturing industries so from the very starting, many researches
and modern-day strategies have been delivered for the improvements in physical, chemical and
mechanical properties of concrete. Fiber strengthened concrete is one of the ones advancements which
gives an accessible, realistic and not highly-priced approach for overcoming micro cracks and similar
form of deficiencies. Given that concrete is feeble in tension consequently a few revolutionary measures
need to be followed to conquer this deficiency in concrete by following economical ways. Human hair is
generally sturdy in taking tensile forces and additionally personal ductility consequently it may be used
as a fiber reinforcement material. Human hair Fiber is a possibility non-degradable matter to be had in
abundance and at reasonably low cost. It also reduces environmental pollutions and problems. The
addition of human hair fibers in concrete may also enhances the binding properties, micro cracking
control, Shrinkage cracks control in hardened concrete, Imparts ductility and additionally increases
freezing and thawing resistance. The experimental findings in our studies could inspire future studies
inside the route for long time performance to extending this rate of effective type of fibers for use in
structural packages. Experiments had been performed on concrete cubes, cylinders and beams of
sophisticated sizes with addition of diverse chances of human hair fiber i.e., 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by
using way of weight of cement, fine aggregate & coarse aggregate and outcomes have been in comparison
with those of undeniable cement concrete of M-20 grade. For each percentage of human hair introduced
in concrete, four cubes, 3 cylinders and three beams had been examined for his or her respective
mechanical houses at curing durations of 3 , 7 and 28 days. Considerable strength has been achieved by
the addition of 1.5% human hair in concrete samples.

INTRODUCTION
Fiber reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a concrete containing fibrous materials which increases as structural
and is gaining significance. It consists of short discrete fibers which might be uniformly distributed and
randomly oriented. The idea of the usage of fibers as reinforcement isn't new. Fibers have been used as
bolstered considering historical instances. Traditionally, horse hair turned into applied in mortar and straw
in dust bricks. Within the early 1900s, asbestos fibers were utilized in concrete, and within the 1950s the
concept of composite materials came into being and fiber bolstered concrete grow to be one of the topics
of interest. Later, using asbestos for concrete reinforcement have become discouraged due to the
associated fitness dangers. New substances like metal, glass, and artificial fibers changed asbestos for
reinforcement.
A fiber is a small piece of reinforcing material owning positive traits houses. Addition of fibers to concrete
influences its mechanical residences which extensively rely upon the type, length and percent of fiber.
Typically, concrete is vulnerable in anxiety and has a brittle person. For this reason fibers are introduced
to growth its tensile electricity and improve the developments of introduction materials.

Fibers are commonly used in concrete for the subsequent reasons:-

1) To manipulate cracking because of every plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage.

2) In addition they reduce the permeability of concrete and as an end result lessen bleeding of water.

3) They produce extra effect, ductility, electricity, abrasion and shatter resistance in concrete.
4) The fineness of the fibers lets in them to enhance the mortar fraction of the concrete, delaying crack
formation and propagation.

This fineness additionally inhibits bleeding within the concrete, thereby reducing permeability and
enhancing the floor characteristics of the hardened ground. But use of better percent of fiber is probably
to motive segregation and harshness of concrete and mortar. The fiber is frequently defined with the useful
resource of an on hand parameter known as factor ratio. The aspect ratio of the fiber is the ratio of its
duration to its diameter. Its fee varies for super fibers. Bolstered Concrete with immoderate element ratio
became determined to have improved effectiveness. The modulus of elasticity of matrix have to be plenty
lower than hard fiber for efficient strain transfer. The interfacial bond between the matrix and the fiber
also decide the effectiveness of pressure transfer, from the matrix to the fiber. An exquisite bond is
essential for enhancing tensile electricity of composite. Essentially, the hair thread has a cylindrical shape,
exceedingly prepared, customary via inert cells, maximum of them keratinized and distributed following
a completely particular and pre-defined layout. Hair bureaucracy a totally inflexible shape inside the
molecular diploma, that is capable of provide the thread each flexible and mechanical resistance. Human
hair has approximately 65-ninety five% of its weight in proteins, 32% of water, lipid pigments and
extraordinary components why human hair a fiber?

Hair is used as fiber reinforcing cloth in concrete for the following reasons
1) It has high tensile strength that is same to that of copper wire with comparable diameter.
2) Hair, a non-degradable rely is developing an environmental problem so it used as fibro reinforcing
fabric can decrease the trouble.
3) It additionally to be had in abundance and at a very low cost.
4) It reinforces the mortar and stops it from spalling.

In this experimental examine, human hair fibers are integrated into concrete at content fabric of 0.5, 1 and
1.Five% thru weight of cement. Cubes, beams and cylindrical specimens are casted and cured well for
comparing numerous mechanical homes. Those specimens manufactured from human hair fiber
reinforced concrete are tested at 3, 7 and 28days and the trade in mechanical houses even as in comparison
to standard cement concrete is determined

LITERATURE REVIEW
This review offers the heritage records on the troubles to be bear in mind inside the present studies
paintings and to recognition the significance of the modern-day examine.
Dr. Sinan abdulkhaleq yaseen, University of salahaddin posted a paper on “An Experimental Investigation
into the mechanical houses of latest natural fibre Reinforced Mortar” in 2013. This paper highlights use
of human hair fiber (HHF) as reinforced fabric in cementitious stuff. Tests have been carried to have a
look at the have an effect on of fiber content material on the compressive electricity, splitting tensile
electricity, flexural strength and load deflection was supplied for two w/c ratios (0.6 and 0.7). Energy
absorption potential and ductility issue had been advanced substantially with the fiber content improved,
which makes using the HHF appropriate for seismic force resistant structures. Jain.D and Kothari.A, it's
far located that there is extremely good increment in properties of concrete in keeping with the chances
of hairs with the aid of weight of in concrete. When M20 concrete with 1% hair is as compared with the
apparent cement concrete, it's far determined that there is enhancement of 10% in compressive strength
and 3.2% in flexural strength. When M20 concrete with 1.5% hair is as compared with undeniable cement
concrete, it's miles located that there may be a boom of 22% in compressive stregth and 8.6% in flexural
strength. When M20 concrete with 1% hair is compared with the apparent cement concrete, it is
determined that there may be no growth in compressive ability and 2% in flexural stength. When M20
concrete with 1.5 % hair is compared with the apparent cement concrete, it is located that there may be a
boom of eight.8 % in compressive strength and .Five % in flexural strength. When M25 concrete with 1%
hair is in comparison with the plain cement concrete, it's far located that there may be a boom 4.6% in
compressive strength and 3% in flexural stregth.When M25 concrete with 1.5% hair is compared with
the plain cement concrete, it is located that there is an increase of 11% in compressive strength and 4%
in flexural strength .Nila V. M, Raijan K. J, Susmitha Antony, Riya Babu M, Neena Rose Davis,
According to the take a look at carried out it's miles located that there may be first rate increment in
residences of concrete in line with the chances of hairs through weight of concrete. There became an
standard growth of 1– 12% inside the compressive strength of concrete and up to 5% in the flexural
strength of concrete take a look at specimens via the addition of hair fibers in distinctive quantities. It is
properly observed that the utmost increase is observed within the addition of twenty-two hair fiber, via
weight of concrete, altogether of the mixes. It is concrete mixes, making the hair fiber strengthened
concrete best suitable to the applications with those concrete mixes. Crack formation and propagation are
very much decreased showing that FRC could have its packages in seismic resistant structures.
