Experimental Investigation of Shrinkage of Nano Hair Reinforced Concrete
Basically most of cement based mixtures are likely shrinking. Use of fibers is not a new idea in this case. Previously, there were some evidences that horse hair, straw and cotton fibers were used in mud and mortars in ancient times. Then, utilizing these fibers in concrete mixture may increase conc...

| description | Basically most of cement based mixtures are likely shrinking. Use of fibers is not a new idea in this case. Previously, there were some evidences that horse hair, straw and cotton fibers were used in mud and mortars in ancient times. Then, utilizing these fibers in concrete mixture may increase concrete workability and decrease shrinkage cracks. Due to nano cross-section of hair and its proper tensile strength this project investigates its application to reduce the shrinkage of concrete mixtures. For this purpose, human hair fibers were used in 0.4 and 0.8 and 1.2 weight percent and the length of the fibers in each case varied between 15 and 60 millimeter and the samples were made of dimensions of 40×40×160 millimeters. Results are shown as considerable amount of hair may reduce in the shrinkage in the hair reinforced concrete. |
