EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CONCRETE REINFORCED With HUMAN AND HORSE HAIR FIBERS

Zakaria Awadallah Ibrahim

Abstract: Concrete is good in compression but week in tension that is, concrete is a brittle material. So, in order to improve the tensile properties of concrete, short fibers are used. Human and horse hairs consider a bio material and have a good strong in tension; hence it can be used as a fiber reinforcement material. Hair Fiber (HF) an alternate non-degradable matter is available in abundance and at a very cheap cost. It also creates environmental problem for its decompositions. The aim of this research work is to f… Show more

Purpose This study aims to comparatively reveal the physical, thermal and mechanical properties of horse tail and mane hairs, which have the potential to be used in many areas. Design/methodology/approach Physical properties of horsehairs such as diameter, density, moisture and water absorption were measured. Fourier transform infrared, field emission scanning electron microscopy and amino acid analyzes were applied to the hairs. Thermal stability of horsehair was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. In addition, breaking strength and elongation values of mane and tail hairs were measured. Findings As a result of morphological analysis of horsehair, it was observed that there are usually gaps in the internal structure of horsehair, but the size and continuity of these gaps vary. It has been determined that there is a significant difference between the tenacity values of tail and mane hairs as well as geometric characteristics. In addition, amino acid analysis has shown that the amino acid contents of horse tail and mane hairs are similar and not much different from sheep’s wool. Originality/value Horsehair has been used for various purposes such as clothing, accessories, brushes, upholstery and reinforcement material. To use horsehair in accordance with its application area and performance characteristics, it is necessary to know its physical, thermal and mechanical properties. It is considerable to reveal the similar and different aspects of tail and mane hairs to determine whether they are alternatives to each other. Therefore, revealing the characteristics of tail and mane hairs comparatively constitutes the originality of this study.

The construction industry is the largest manufacturing industry, which produces concrete and other related materials for construction of infrastructure around the world, after the food production industry. This industry requires a lot of natural resources like aggregates, limestone etc. to produce finished product such as concrete and cement. These natural resources are limited and have to deplete one day, so alternate to these resources are required. On the other hand, this industry produces a large amount of waste material that creates environmental pollution. In the present era, to recycle waste and to reduce environmental pollution is the main objectives of sustainable development. Sustainable development in structural materials is currently getting attention all around the world. Solid waste, building and demolition waste, natural resources, and their reuse are the most obvious strategies for achieving sustainability in the construction industry. Many researchers are working on new techniques and thinking for innovation in the ﬁeld of concrete technology by utilizing the waste material in concrete. As a fiber reinforcement material, Human Hair Fiber (HHF), an alternate non-degradable matter, is available in abundance and at a very cheap cost. In this review of literature paper presents the quantitative analysis of HHF as natural fibers in cement concrete
