Abstract |
|
India is a developing country and in various developing countries like India economical construction along with economical construction material plays a vital role in the development of country. Waste material in construction can play tremendous role to make it economical and durable due to some of its specific properties relevant to construction materials. This dissertation shows comparative and experimental study on utilization of coconut husk and human hairs as fiber reinforcement in concrete. Human hair is a human body waste and coconut husk is an upper most part of coconut which is also a waste material. In this project human hairs and coconut fibers are added in concrete by weight of cement in the proportion of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%. Workability and compressive strength test is performed on concrete and their result is being evaluated and compared. |
