Local workshops generate large quantities of industrial lathe waste steel fibers, which the steel manufacturing industries find difficult to recycle because of their sharp edges. The utilization of lathe waste steel fibers as fiber reinforcement is sustainable in concrete because these fibers have the same properties as steel fibers. Furthermore, using combinations of ductile and elastic fibers improves strain capacity and resistance to pre- and post-cracking. This research employs hybrid fiber reinforcement technology, utilizing industrial lathe waste steel fibers and glass fibers in varying proportions, to bridge the micro and macro cracks in concrete specimens. This research was done to examine the physical (workability) and mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength) of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete. In this research different mixtures of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete were cast and designated as M0, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6. The mixtures included lathe waste steel fibers at 0%, 0.50%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3%, and glass fibers at 0%, 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.45%, 0.60%, 0.75%, and 0.90%, respectively. The ASTM-standardised protocols were followed for all laboratory testing. The physical property results showed a decrease in the workability of concrete mixes as the percentage of lathe waste steel and glass fiber increased. This suggests that a higher percentage of lathe waste steel and glass fibers leads to a lower slump value. Consequently, the mechanical property results showed a gradual enhancement in the compressive and flexural strengths of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete up to 2.5% lathe waste steel fibers and 0.75% (M5). Further incorporation causes a reduction in strength. The physical examination of fractured samples of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete confirms that the lathe waste steel fibers yield a maximum strain before breaking down in the concrete matrix. Furthermore, lathe waste steel fibers broke rather than being pulled out, indicating a good bond with the concrete. It is recommended that up to 2.5% lathe waste steel fibers and 0.75% of glass fibers by the total weight of the concrete can be used as hybrid fiber reinforcement for optimum strength achievement.Refference:
