Abstract :

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative study on the utilization of different waste fibers in the modification of concrete properties. The study focuses on three types of waste fibers: natural waste fiber, plastic waste fiber, and steel waste fiber. The primary objectives include evaluating and comparing the mechanical properties, durability characteristics, workability, and environmental and economic impact of concrete mixes modified with these waste fibers. The investigation involves a detailed analysis of compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, as well as durability aspects such as resistance to water absorption, chloride penetration, and performance under freeze-thaw cycles. The research also encompasses an optimization process for mix proportions to strike a balance between workability and enhanced properties. Comparative assessment of the environmental impact and cost-benefit analysis is conducted to identify the most sustainable and cost-effective solution. The study concludes with practical recommendations for the implementation of modified concrete mixes in various construction applications, contributing valuable insights to the field of sustainable concrete technology.
