“…This drop-in workability of concrete can be associated with the hygroscopic nature of HH which absorbs a greater quantity of water as the content of HH rises in concrete. This judgement is linked to Bheel et al 30 , 84 , and a comparable observation was perceived in Meghwar et al 85 , 86 . Besides, the slump test results for concrete mixes incorporating MHA as sand substituting material are shown in Fig.…”

Revolutionizing construction, the concrete blend seamlessly integrates human hair (HH) fibers and millet husk ash (MHA) as a sustainable alternative. By repurposing human hair for enhanced tensile strength and utilizing millet husk ash to replace sand, these materials not only reduce waste but also create a durable, eco-friendly solution. This groundbreaking methodology not only adheres to established structural criteria but also advances the concepts of the circular economy, representing a significant advancement towards environmentally sustainable and resilient building practices. The main purpose of the research is to investigate the fresh and mechanical characteristics of concrete blended with 10–40% MHA as a sand substitute and 0.5–2% HH fibers by applying response surface methodology modeling and optimization. A comprehensive study involved preparing 225 concrete specimens using a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.52, followed by a 28 day curing period. It was found that a blend of 30% MHA and 1% HH fibers gave the best compressive and splitting tensile strengths at 28 days, which were 33.88 MPa and 3.47 MPa, respectively. Additionally, the incorporation of increased proportions of MHA and HH fibers led to reductions in both the dry density and workability of the concrete. In addition, utilizing analysis of variance (ANOVA), response prediction models were created and verified with a significance level of 95%. The models' R2 values ranged from 72 to 99%. The study validated multi-objective optimization, showing 1% HH fiber and 30% MHA in concrete enhances strength, reduces waste, and promotes environmental sustainability, making it recommended for construction.

“…The properties of fiber-reinforced concrete are highly influenced by the physical parameters of fibers, i.e., diameter, aspect ratio, length, etc. Unlike fibers with larger diameters, fibers with small diameters have been reported to be difficult for dispersion in fresh concrete [13,24,25]. Although the best-suited modifications in deficiencies of concrete can be achieved by the unidirectional orientation of fibers with fibers being parallel to the applied forces, it is still impractical because of the short lengths of fibers [26,27].…”

“…Although the best-suited modifications in deficiencies of concrete can be achieved by the unidirectional orientation of fibers with fibers being parallel to the applied forces, it is still impractical because of the short lengths of fibers [26,27]. Numerous fibers such as sisal, steel, plastic, hemp, carbon, hybrid, glass, human scalp hair, etc., are used for reinforcement of concrete, depending upon their availability, characteristics, and feasibility [13,17,25,28,29].…”

The use of synthetic fiber and natural fiber for concrete production has been continuously investigated. Most of the materials have become popular for their higher flexibility, durability, and strength. However, the current study explores the engineering properties of cement concrete reinforced with nylon and jute fibers together. Varying proportions and lengths of nylon and jute fibers were utilized in the concrete mixture. Hence, the combined effects of nylon and jute fibers on workability, density, water absorption, compressive, tensile, flexural strength, and drying shrinkage of concrete were investigated. Results showed that concrete with 1% of nylon and jute fibers together by the volume fraction showed a maximum enhancement of the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength by 11.71%, 14.10%, and 11.04%, respectively, compared to the control mix of concrete at 90 days. However, the water absorption of concrete increased with increasing nylon and jute fiber contents. The drying shrinkage of concrete decreased with the addition of nylon and jute fibers together after 90 days. Thus, the sparing application of both nylon and jute fiber as discussed in this study can be adopted for concrete production.

“…After a critical review, the most widely used basalt fiber has a length of 10 to 65 mm with a diameter of 13–20 μm. In addition, the density of basalt is about 1.3 to 2.75 g/cm 3 , the tensile strength is between 2600 to 4840 MPa, and the range of the elastic modulus is 80–115 GPa [ 31 ].…”

This study investigates the engineering and mechanical properties of basalt fiber-reinforced (FRF) concrete, giving special attention to residual flexural strength and dynamic modal parameters. These properties, which have not been thoroughly investigated elsewhere, are a precursor to structural design applications for dynamic compliant structures (i.e., bridges, offshore platforms, railways, and airport pavement). Accordingly, the standard notched flexural tests have been carried out to assess the basalt fiber-reinforced concrete’s residual flexural strength with an additional 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.375%, and 0.5% of volume fraction of basalt fiber. In addition, dynamic modal tests were then conducted to determine the dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOE) and damping of the FRF concrete beams. The results indicate that concrete’s toughness and crack resistance performance are significantly improved with added fiber in basalt fiber reinforced concrete, and the optimum fiber content is 0.25%. It also exhibits the highest increment of compressive strength of 4.48% and a dynamic MOE of 13.83%. New insights reveal that although the residual flexural performance gradually improved with the addition of basalt fiber, the damping ratio had an insignificant change.
