Abstract

Rising steel production has resulted in considerable amounts of waste, raising serious environmental and disposal issues. Recycling this steel waste offers both ecological and economic benefits. This study explores the use of CNC lathe waste fibers as a sustainable reinforcement material in concrete. Concrete mixes were prepared with varying fiber contents (0-3%) to evaluate their effect on workability, strength, and durability. Tests conducted include slump, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and chloride ion penetration. The incorporation of lathe fibers led to noticeable gains in compressive and tensile strength, with the most favorable outcomes observed between 1.5% and 2.0% fiber content. The highest compressive strength (27.15 MPa) and tensile strength (3.09 MPa) were achieved with 2.0% fiber. However, fiber content beyond this level caused clustering, leading to strength reduction. After 45 days of exposure to chloride solution, fiber-reinforced concrete retained its mechanical properties better than the control mix, particularly at 2.0% fiber. While moderate fiber addition enhanced performance, excessive use increased porosity and reduced durability. Overall, the study indicates that CNC lathe waste fibers can effectively reinforce concrete, offering a practical solution for sustainable construction and steel waste management.
