Compressive strength is the primary measure of the strength parameter of concrete. It depends upon the quality of the materials used to prepare the concrete i.e cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. As technology is getting advance day by day due to commercialization, new findings are being made to explore the possibility for increasing the compressive strength of the concrete within an economic spectrum. As human hair offers resistance to tension and it is also found in abundance in nature therefore it can be used as fibre reinforcement in concrete. This work analysis the possibility of using human hair as a fibre reinforcement material by testing concrete cubes in compression testing machine at the laboratory for comparing the compressive strength of plain cement concrete with fibre reinforced concrete having human hair in different percentages like 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 8% by weight of cement for the curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days as per IS 456:2000 (Indian standard Plain and Reinforced Concrete-Code of Practice). The main result of this current research work will lead to the finding of the fact that whether the compressive strength increases or not by using human hair as a fibre reinforcement material in concrete mixture.
