520 3 _aALFARO, ARA MICAH C. and MARAMAG, ANGELA M. Utilization of Human Hair Waste in Fiber-Reinforced Concrete. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2018. Adviser: Engr. Rico C. Asuncion. Human hair is considered as a potential reinforcement material that is organic, renewable, and highly available. However, due to its slow degradation, dumped human hair waste along drainage areas and waste streams causes water contamination. The best way to address such problems is to develop the usage of human hair waste as a resource material. The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of utilizing human hair waste on the compressive and flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete. The highest strength of a single strand of human hair was observed from a straight untreated black hair that held 122.67 grams before rupture. According to Proctor and Gamble Beauty and Grooming, a lock of 100 hair strands can withstand a weight of 10 kilograms. Through water absorption test, the researchers identified that the human hair fiber can absorb 148.4 percent of water. However, freshly mixed concrete with human hair fiber was less workable and had slower setting time. Four treatments were conducted (0 percent, 1 percent, 2 percent, and 3 percent) and the results revealed that the treatment without human hair, gained the highest compressive and flexural strength, while the treatment with 3 percent of human hair obtained the least strength. Utilization of human hair waste in fiber-reinforced concrete yielded insignificant results in terms of increasing the compressive and flexural strength of the concrete.
