Production of Hybrid Fiber Green Concrete Using Date Palm Fiber and Tires Wire Waste

Document Type : Research Article

Abstract

In recent decades, researchers have begun to investigate innovative 
sustainable construction materials for the development of greener and more 
environmentally friendly infrastructures. The main purpose of this article is to 
investigate the possibility of employing date palm tree waste as a natural fiber and 
tires wire waste in concrete. Date palm fibers are a common agricultural waste in 
Middle Eastern nations, particularly in Egypt. As a result, this research examined 
the engineering properties of high-strength concrete using date palm fibers, as 
well as the performance of tires wire waste. The concrete samples were made 
using 0.0% and 0.50 by volume of date palm, 1.0 % of tires wire waste and 
(0.50%+0.50%), (0.5%+1.0%) and (0.75%+0.75%) by volume of date palm and 
tires wire waste respectively. Six concrete mixtures were made in total. 
Compressive strength test, flexural strength test and splitting tensile strength test 
were conducted. Moreover density, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and water 
absorption capability were determined.
