Effects of Hemp Fibers on Durability and Strength Properties of Concrete to be Used in Agricultural Buildings

Abstract

Concrete is the most common construction material used worldwide. It is also commonly used in construction of agricultural buildings. With the rapid developments in technology, different building materials with superior properties are being researched in order to improve different properties of concrete and eliminate its disadvantaged aspects and to obtain lighter, insulated, more economical and useful construction materials. One of the applications to improve the negative properties of concrete with low tensile strength is to add various fibers into the concrete mixtures. Hemp stalks play an important role in recycling vegetable wastes. Therefore, it is highly significant to recycle or transform these materials. In this study, hemp fibers were supplemented into concrete mixtures in different ratios (1, 2.5 and 5%). Slump and unit weight tests were conducted on fresh samples and compressive strength, tensile strength, water absorption, freeze-thaw resistance, thermal conductivity and ultrasound pulse velocity tests were conducted on 28-day cured cube specimens. Slump values of the concrete samples varied between 3.50-12.00 cm, unit weights between 2262-2370 kg m-3 and water absorption values between 2.42-5.91%. Compared to the control concrete, maximum decrease in compressive strength (24.09%) was seen in 5% fiber-supplemented concrete samples (average 33.44 MPa). The highest splitting tensile strength (11.15%) was obtained from 1% fiber-supplemented samples. Compressive strength, specific gravity, ultrasound pulse velocity and thermal conductivity coefficients decreased, but tensile strengths and water absorption ratios increased with increasing hemp fiber ratios. As a result, by using hemp fibers in concrete production, a material with high tensile strength, suitable for cold climate conditions and low thermal conductivity was produced. Present mechanical and physical experiments revealed that hemp fiber-supplemented concretes, which are economical, sustainable, environment-friendly, recyclable and have low carbon emissions, could reliably be used in agricultural buildings and further improvements could contribute to the economy and reduce environmental pollution
