palm fiber, tire steel wire fiber, compressive strength, flexural strength, sustainability.Abstract
The significant contamination caused by dumping large quantities of steel wire present in tyres in landfills has increased the demand for recycling trash steel wire of fibers. The recycling process of fibers is significant not only for construction but also a plays role in restricting waste materials consequently crucial for the evnvironment. By utilizing these fibers waste in the construction industry, countries can improve waste management process, lower the disposal expense, and promote sustainable development. This study focuses on using date palm fibers as organic fibers and tire steel fibers as inorganic fibers to produce more sustainable concrete. A Comparative study is implemented in order to compare the influences of behaviour of these two types of fibers in the concrete with using the same ratio. This study aims to evaluate how the inclusion of date palm fibers and tire steel fibers in concrete impacts the engineering properties of concrete and to compare their influences. In the current study, the use of tire steel fibers and date palm fibers with 0.5% ratio by cement weight, with the length 4-6cm and diameters 0.1-0.5 mm were selected in the mixtures. Three different mixtures were designed, prepared, mixed, and tested by diverse tests such as slump test, compressive strength test, flexural strength test, hardened density test, and rebound hammer test.
