Abstract :

Since ancient times, many researches were carried out to increase the mechanical and physical properties of concrete. As technology is getting advance day by day due to commercialization, new findings are being made to explore the possibility for increasing the compressive strength of the concrete. Fibre reinforce is one of the research among those which offers a convenient practical and economical method for overcoming micro-cracks and similar types of deficiencies. It also reduced greater impact abrasion and shatter resistance in concrete. As human hair offer resistance to tension and it is also found in abundance in nature human hair Fibre is an alternative non-degradable matter and at cheap cost, therefore it can be used as Fibre reinforcement in concrete. Experiment were conducted on concrete cubes with addition of various percentage of human hair fibre o % , 1% , and 1.5 % by weight of cement , fine and coarse aggregate result were compare with those of plane cement concrete of M20 and M 25 grade and the cubes were tested for their respective mechanical properties at curing period 7 , 14 , and 28 days the main result of these research work will lead to the finding of the fact that whether compressive strength increases or not by using human hair as a fibre reinforcement material in concrete.
