Fibre reinforced concrete offers a practical and economical method for Over Coming micro- cracks and similar type of deficiencies Fibres are usually use in concrete to control plastic shrinkage and dry shrinkage cracking and also to lower the permeability of concrete. It also reduces greater impact, abrasions and shatter resistances in concrete. It is an effective method of construction of light weight seismic resistant structures. Since concrete is weak in tension hence some measures must be adopted to overcome this deficiency. Human hair is strong in tension hence it can be used. As a fibre reinforcement Material. Hair Fibre (HF), an alternate non-degradable matter, is available in abundance and at a very cheap cost. It also creates environmental problem for its decompositions.This particular work has been undertaken to study the effect of human hair on plain cement concrete on the basis of its workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength.Experiments were conducted on concrete beams and cubes with various percentages of human hair fibre i.e. 1%, 2% and 3% by weight of cement. For each combination of proportions of concrete 14 beams, 14 cylinder and 21 cubes were tested for their mechanical properties. By testing of cubes and beams we found that there is an increment in the various properties and strength of concrete by the addition of human hair for 2% as fibre reinforcement.
