Optimization of concrete with human hair using experimental study and artificial neural network via response surface methodology and ANOVA

Abstract The increasing demand for sustainable construction materials has prompted the investigation of non-biodegradable waste, such as human hair (HH), for concrete reinforcement. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of HH fiber on the fresh, physical, and mechanical characteristics of concrete...
