Abstract:
Industries are expanding at a faster rate due to the rapid growth of the population result in a surge of trash without proper management. Lathe steel scrap is a major waste material generated during different industry operations such as drilling, cutting, and boring carried out by lathe machines. Lack of sound waste management practices for lathe waste has created enormous environmental issues such as soil and ground water contamination. These industrial waste fibres can successfully be utilized for making high-strength low-cost Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) after exploring their suitability. FRC is a composite material comprised of hydraulic cement, coarse aggregate, sand, water and randomly distributed short discrete fibers.
