Banana and Human Hair Fiber Concrete

Divakar M

Abstract


These Banana filaments have been broadly used to reinforce the substantial construction because of its high malleable and compressive properties. The Regular strands are less expensive in cost, eco-accommodating, biodegradable, Non-biodegradable. In addition to human hair and banana fiber, the compressive, tensile, and flexible power of concrete have all been enhanced as a result of this innovation in engineering. The first time we found studies on this project, we knew that future research would focus on long-term performance to raise the cost of an efficient fiber for construction applications. In this project, banana fiber and hair fiber are treated for an hour with 5% NaOH solution. Then it is washed with refined water. Fiber is dried in broiler for one hours at 104ºC. Banana fiber are stretched 4mm and length of hair strands are 6mm to 50mm. then, at that point, add 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% of substantial volume in M20 grade. The homogenous combination of cement was appreciated for the compressive strength of cement
