## Description

- description: Amid the growing awareness of climate change, the use of renewable
    resources has become essential for promoting sustainable and eco-friendly construction
    practices. Sheep wool fibers, known for their superior thermal insulation and
    acoustic properties, have gradually attracted the attention of researchers in
    civil engineering. However, owing to the relatively recent exploration of sheep
    wool in concrete, a systematic understanding of sheep wool fiber-reinforced cementitious
    composites (SWFRCC) remains limited, particularly in terms of its microstructure,
    which hinders its commercial application. This study presents a comprehensive
    review of the usability of sheep wool fibers in concrete, with a focus on workability,
    compressive strength, flexural strength, thermal insulation, acoustic performance,
    and durability. In addition, this study provides potential applications, highlights
    the current challenges, and proposes future research directions for SWFRCC. This
    review aims to enhance the understanding of sheep wool fibers and SWFRCC, offering
    valuable insights for advancing sustainable construction practices.
