STRENGTH AND BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE CONTAINS HUMAN HAIR

Er. Balwinder Singh, Dr. Sanjeev Naval

Abstract :

Concrete is the most important component used in the construction industry throughout the world. In the recent years, a lot of research work has improved the two main properties of concrete which are Strength and Durability.The paperpresents improvement in compressive  strength of concrete by the addition of human hair (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%,2%, 2.5% and 3%)as fiber. Human hair is considered a waste material and its accumulation with addition of human hair (i.e. 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%,2%, 2.5% and 3%)increase in the compressive strength was observed at a contents.The concrete attainsmaximumcompressivestrengthwhen percentage of human hair is 2%, which has been found asoptimum percentage. The strength of concrete at optimum percentage increases up to 31.99N/mm². It is clear that with addition of 2% human hair in concrete thecompressivestrength increased by 26.34% to the original strength. Hence, the human hair along with concrete can be used for various Civil Engineering applications.
