Strength of concrete reinforced with treated feathers
Two methods of feather treatment were investigated in this work. In the first method a water-repellent agent was used and in the second method feathers were impregnated with a blocking agent followed by a water-repellent agent and the alkalinity of the matrix was also reduced. Flexural, tensile and compressive strengths were then evaluated at different ages and for different volumetric feather ratios. This method of treatment improved the compressive, tensile and flexural strengths of concrete compared with untreated-feather-reinforced concrete.
