dc.description.abstractThis study aims to investigate the effect of incorporating hemp fibers into cement mortars to enhance their mechanical properties. Additionally, the study examines the use of blast furnace slag (YFC) as a substitute for cement to reduce costs. The findings demonstrate that adding 1%, 2%, and 4% hemp fibers to cement mortars yields the best results in terms of density, water absorption, compressive strength, bending strength, compressive strength after bending, and flexural strength. In conclusion, the study reveals that incorporating hemp fibers enhances the workability of YFC-blended mixtures while reducing the spreading diameter as the hemp fiber content increases. Additionally, an increase in YFC substitution leads to a decrease in compressive strength; however, the addition of 1% hemp fiber to the Y15 mixture results in a approximately 12% increase in compressive strength, indicating improved matrix strength and reduced crack formation. Moreover, the study shows that the flexural strength increases with the addition of hemp fibers, with the highest flexural strength observed in the mixture containing 4% hemp fiber and 10% YFC substitution. The results highlight that the combination of YFC and hemp fibers can produce strong, durable, and environmentally friendly composite materials. These materials offer a lower environmental impact and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional construction materials.
